For all the situations in which you feel like the US was not justified in its actions, have you considered all the ramifications of alternative actions? And what about all the situations where its actions were justified but would not have been possible had the US military not been funded as it has been historically? How would the USSR have evolved without the US security presence in Europe since WWII? How would China have evolved without the US deep-water navel presence in the Pacific? Without the US support for Taiwan? How do you value the success of South Korea in the presence of US troops? What would have happened in the Middle East if the the US hadn't supported Israel or pushed back on Saddam Hussein in Iraq? I'm not trying to justify any or all US actions, just trying to point out that any evaluation of the US military's impact over the last 100 years is going to be more complex than suggested by your comment.
