I dont think that is the case. US government has abdicated its primary duties for protecting interests of military- industry complex.

What evidence did US provide before attacking Afghanistan? Surely 9/11 was an aggression but US had no evidence to link it with the state of Afghanistan. After American ass got whooped in Afgan they have returned claiming Taliban are no more as bad as they use to be.

What evidence does US have to carry out random Drone strikes in Pakistan killing random people ?

And let me not even start with Iraq, which did absolutely nothing to offend US but instead was destroyed in the name of WMD that did not exist.

But when it comes to Iran, where US interest might have legitimate threat, where Chinese expansion in South China sea and many other places where US could have used its military muscle the government acts as if they are China's bitch.

The real problem I think is that US government has lost the sight of legitimate national security over spending taxpayers money making their friends rich.
