Reading these comments about the defence budget, I'm trying to remember the last time the US "defended" themselves

Was it in 2001 when they "defended" themselves against Saudi Arabia by attacking Iraq?

WW2 was last time the US military actually did anything of value. After that they were fighting farmers and peasants and/or just feed the industrial machine.

Right, but the US military is not fighting there

Not directly, but the US military is moving mountains to support Ukraine.
