No, not directly; The USA no longer issues War Bonds or Armed Forces Leave Bonds. Since any U.S. Bond is an investment with the US Dept of Treasury, there is an overall indirect relationship but it is quite a stretch.

No. Armed forces will get funded one way or another. When you buy savings bonds (or any other government bonds for that matter), you ask the govenment to tax you more in the future, so that it could repay the principal...

No. You are loaning money to the Federal Government. The money goes into the general operating funds of the FED. It is not earmarked for any special purpose nor does it go into a special account.

When you buy a U.S. savings bond, you are, esentially loaning the U.S. government your money. The government then uses this money where it's needed.

You're probably helping anything federally funded, including the armed forces.

Not directly, what you are doing is loaning the government money to pay the national debt.
