Actually, literally why not. I bet you could come up with some kind of actuarial argument about what being undefended would cost us, on average.
It's an expensive business to be in. If the military is going to turn a profit we'll need to start looking for better wars to get involved in, ones that really maximize the opportunities for plunder.
Ah, but you aren't considering the downside risk that [insert badguy nation] invades us and turns us all into slaves.
Car or house insurance doesn't turn a profit for the policyholder either. It's not exactly the same thing, but in both cases it's purely preventative, while still an economic good idea.
Sure, you've got to consider both sides of the equation: Use your military might to plunder distant lands faster and harder than their armies are able to plunder your own land. It's the fiscally prudent way to run things.
