No, the immense defense contracting industry that has built since WWII would build the bombs, as they currently are.
The difference is that the nation's entire economy is kept moving because of the liquidity (yes, the constant loaning of money) that the financial industry provides. Without that liquidity, as we have seen (thankfully to an only limited extent), companies across the entire (industry independent) economy started seizing up. Contrast that with what would happen if/when the top 3 auto companies were to fail... Yes, thousands of jobs could be jeopardized. However, the economy would survive without a constant stream of new american cars ready for eager consumers to drive off the lot.
