The militaristic superiority of the US obviously has benefits. So does forgiving student loan debt. The above comment didn't say that the US should become isolationist and no baby was thrown out with the bath water. That's an assumption you've made yourself.

> I'm sure US DoD is worthy of many of its criticisms, including high budget,

That's precisely all that's been criticized here. The high budget of the DoD.

At least for me, the scare quotes around "defense" additionally imply that the US isn't really getting anything defense-related in return for the high budget - as if the money is just being wasted with no ROI.
