This is a complicated subject, but I think that after the economy starts recovering the big problem USA faces (and other countries, but especially USA) will be oil prices.
USA's infrastructure in most places relies on cheap oil which won't be available when economies start recovering. The most flagrant example being high usage of cars of course.
We already had a sneak peek of $150 oil and its consequences just before the financial crisis hit, and it wasn't pretty.
You can have a powerful military, but when the economy to support it relies on something that won't be available (cheap oil) that doesn't look sustainable to me.
