It wasn't beneficial for everyone. It was beneficial for other Western countries. Everyday Americans have had to fund great swathes of this. Have a little look at today's USA and tell me if you think, they America, has won out. They are drug addled, obese, poor and miserable.Because having America in control of everything kept the whole world relatively peaceful. This arrangement was very beneficial for everyone, including America. They didn't actually want a heavily armed Europe. In particular, they didn't want to see nuclear weapons being proliferated around the globe. We now have Poland, Germany, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan discussing making their own nuclear weapons.
It's a good example of the lazy British attitude that the US will or should just sort everything out for us and others. I hope it dies out with it's generation of cohorts who preach it. Bring back British patriotism.
