It's not like war is the only purpose of military. Avoiding war is just as important. When you have such a strong military force as United States has, no one wants to start a war with you. Same goes to other strong military forces in the world such as Russia or China. The funds for the military force are mostly an investment to help prevent conflicts, since with that kind of force, everyone knows starting a war against you would be suicide.
