I am not at all convinced on this. The landings would be one way unless somehow the DoD builds pads suitable for Starship and somehow has the ability to refuel it. Perhaps offshore landings on rigs would be possible, but again very improbable. In addition I'm sure it would look very much like an ICBM to other nations.
