Define winning, please. Because it seems they've been fairly successful at protecting the interests of the capital. Which is, you know, the main function of military in dictatorship of bourgeois

Where are those success you mentionned ? Ukraine proxi war? The global war ~~on~~ of terror ? The vietnam war ? Reality say otherwise.

Let's see. Guatemala. Panama. Libya (ruined one of the most prosperous nations in Africa, terminated plans for pan-arabic currency). I'm sure I'm forgetting many more.

Arguably Ukraine as well. It tanked EU, spiked sales for Yankee weapons, ruined Ukraine and demonised Russia in the eyes of many - most importantly in the eyes of Ukrainians and Russian citizens. You sure about that "reality" bit?
