I don't think the US military did that at all. The russians and
their 'satellites' shot themselves in the foot. The soviet
system had more central planning and top-down control than
fascist western corporatism and so it was less efficient.
It's obviously better to give a bit more 'freedom' to your
subjects so that you can fleece them better. Then they will
happily murder children to defend mcdonalds and coca-cola. And
yes, things like jew-kristian religion do help a good deal.

Do they get their budget cut because of their supposed
failures? Nope. They just keep getting more money and more
power. Total success! Countries get destroyed and 'rebuilt' by
american firms. Success.

Well, of course they are nothing but murderers. But succesful
ones. I think calling them stupid would be misleading. They are
competent in their narrow field.
