Does America’s military do any good?

Asked by flutherother (35098points) December 5th, 2014

What might the trillion dollars a year that America spends on its military do for the world, or even the United States? Presumably this vast expenditure which is unprecedented in human history and which is as large as the defence budgets of the next 15 countries combined is not just for defence. So what is it for? What good is it supposed to do?
