If that is what bothers you the money from the defense contractors

We need national defense. We don't need gun crazies ruling us.

What were we defending in the wars of the latter 20th and beginning of
the 21st century?

Our freedom.

Who was threatening us? The Koreans? The Vietnamese? Granada? The
Bosnians? The Iraqis? The Afghans? Are the Iranians threatening us
now?

If we really just wanted security for the US we would have supported
the Palestinians in 1948.

Of course, had we supported the Germans in WWII, we wouldn't have had to
support the so-called Palestinians in 1948. If the so-called
Palestinians had accepted the UN proposal for a divided nation in 1947,
the problems there would have long been settled. But they didn't.
