It's primary function is national self-defense. Right now the US is involved in special military operations in something like 138 countries..almost all of which are completely unknown to the public. The ones we know about are complete disasters, serving only to increase chaos and blowback..not to mention the deaths and displacement of millions of civilians. You can decide whether this state of perpetual war is the result of not being able to correctly think things through, or just a military-industrial complex making money for itself.
No business could survive if it ran as inefficiently as the government. If you think regulatory boards operate under "fairness," you've never dealt with one. You do exactly what they tell you, whether it makes sense or not. The bottom line is fees to the board, which get passed on to the customers.
