Re: "Its highly desirable and beneficial for our country."

You presuppose the answer.

(I'd say that it's is at very least *equally possible* that TRILLIONS spent to defend sea lanes to the Persian Gulf have NOT proven 'cost/effective' to the American taxpayer. And thus NOT a 'public good'.)

At the very *least* though, the ANSWER to that question should not be PRESUPPOSED.
