I disagree. While I do agree that we need to twist the arms of the Euros in order to make them pay their fair share (or give us more latitude to do what we want/must do aka Greenland). Nato is beneficial to all parties. For the United States, it gives us more opportunities to train and a broader reach internationally than we probably wouldn't have otherwise. Furthermore, what NATO countries end up doing is specializing in particular areas, Nordic nations tend to be very good at mountain warfare for example. This allows our troops and our large military system to have a better integration in case of wartime. This is seen perfectly with the current operations against Iran. Israel in the United States after decades of training and weapon, sales and cooperation are able to conduct a highly complex aerial campaign against an entire country, it's regional proxies, and engage in air sector defense all the same time. Such cooperation would be impossible without decades of integration and co-training, mutual assistance and funding.
The USA being in NATO allows us also to shape how NATO works. To quote. Joe Biden " without the United States, there is no moral center in Europe" he said this in regards to the US bombing Serbia and he's right. Look at the current situation Europe right now. When it comes to the Arabs and the Muslims they won't do anything even though it's fairly obvious they probably should, if only to secure safe international trade.
Domestically NATO has some benefits too. It keeps American jobs and keeps our economy afloat, right now as it stands, we are the default standard when it comes to nato, munitions and armament. The French can do their own thing but that leaves the French in a supply situation. However, when the polls need to buy tanks, they need to buy it from America because we have the most tanks and we can provide the equipment at a good price quickly. This means that they also need to buy American munitions and American tank parts. Anything that keeps a tank working (which is a lot), this means that American manufacturing jobs in the state of Arkansas get to continue to exist. And I don't need to go into the positive effect this has on local, state, regional, and federal economies.
Furthermore, it allows for resource sharing which is very important. Take Israel for example, the Israelis use our equipment and they test our equipment and they provide feedback on the equipment. They also develop better avionics and they're involved in the development of systems within the f-35 and the F-16 platforms. This then ensures that we have the bleeding, edge, technology and real world experience that will allow us to keep military edge against our adversaries such as the Chinese.
If we didn't have NATO, then there'd be fewer flight hours, which means fewer opportunities to test, develop and troubleshoot new technologies.
And finally, it keeps the Russians from doing anything fucking stupid and it keeps the Turks from also doing anything stupid.
My only issue with NATO is that the countries need to do their treaty obligations that's all. Stop giving money to fucking Arab refugees that they are allowing in and fucking give more money to build tanks.
