Why the military side of GPS does not use GR corrections,

It does. Go away.

I can't see any reference for GR corrections in that
paper. Can you help?. Or is it that that paper is a farce,
and you're being dishonest?


3.3.1.1 page 14.
"The SV [space vehicle] carrier frequency and clock rates --
as they would appear to an observer located in the SV --
are offset to compensate for relativistic effects. The clock
rates are offset by delta_f/f = -4.4647E-10, equivalent to
a change in the P-code chipping rate of 10.23 MHz offset by
a delta_f = -4.5674E-3 Hz. This is equal to 10.22999999543 MHz."
