Everyone knows that the US military is destructive - can it protect Americans at all?

@quesswhat Iraq is a mess and has unreliable electricity and is occupied by Americans, now, Afghanistan is much worse off and the Taliban still rule it, despite the US war, Israel is attacking the natives and desires a full removal of them to secure itself - but even with US help they can't defeat Hamas. The Ukraine is losing to Russia today, Korea is still divided and at war, the USA flat out fled Vietnam and the commies won - what victory?

@independentone because either we had to go all out, which would of resulted in killing many,
