Do they (serious question)? Do you mean like actively lobbying for the US to enter into wars? Or is this more like "I have a tank so I might as well invade".

My running theory is that US does these endless wars for this reason.

Tax payer money -> defense companies -> 'political contributions'

This is why it's probably fine to not win wars because the war is not being fought to be won.
