The US military may not care whether their toys work or not, but that doesn't mean they will be gaining a critical advantage from not caring, just as accidentally droning non-combatants hasn't given them a critical advantage.

It gets them the critical advantage of consolidating power at home through more money (via more military-related contracts), which "more money" oftentimes equates with more political power (at least in Western-like societies). The "more power" part has always been an end in itself.
