Why is America bogged down in wars but China is taking over the world?

We've been in Afghanistan and Iraq for well over a decade.
What do we have to show for it?
We've spent Trillions. With a T.
China has been taking that same money, and more, and ramping up investment in China and across the world with a plan that makes the Marshall Plan look like Ikea furniture assembly instructions.
Jfc. End the wars, and let's start investing at home or in things that will guide us into the future. Anything other than bombs.

because wars are a way for lobbyists to successfully win $$$ for their clients, hawks to keep the military large, and a very temporary boost in rah-rah approval rating for midterms
good luck pushing any sort of long-term infrastructure or foreign investment through congress. reptiles will see it as "wasteful" and dems will bitch that it "isn't what we really need to fix"

What have any of these wars achieved? Honest Q
You don't think there was a more beneficial way we could have spent that $?
Say it with me: no. foreign. entanglements.

The cost of acquisition for a terrorist in their home country is about $15 USD.
The missiles we use to kill 1-2 terrorists per hit (we can't endanger civilians) cost about $1-$2mm per missile.
The war will never end. For every 5 we kill, they will spend $60 bucks to replace. Only difference is, defense companies and contractors continue to get rich selling overpriced weapons to the government. Meanwhile, our infrastructure is at all time historical ages = 0 investment and limited growth.

The definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
