"Modern era" (defined?). Congress decided that every should have equal access to mail service. Hence a mailbox at, or close to, every residence in America. You do not have a FDX or UPS drop box at every residence

United Airlines (and others) is flying some cargo flights, and helping keep pilots in the air, with US Mail being part of the cargo. They don't fly UPS or FDX boxes. https://hub.united.com/united-cargo-...645563015.html

Why doesn’t the military have to compete with private entities? Why are they not expected to turn a profit?

I believe they are turning a profit, you are not speaking Chinese as your first language.

By your (and only your) definition, the post office turns a profit by delivering essential goods such as medication to people who otherwise would not have mail service. Thanks for the help

If somebody wants to send a bill or a legal document to farmer John they can pay $5 to do it. The clowns sending junk mail for $.05/piece can get bent.
The military is part of the government; the USPS despite having United States in the name is not part of the government neither is FEDERAL express or the FEDERAL reserve. Hence they need to make profits or eventually go out of business.

Would you please show me a map of the places in rural America that FedEx and UPS don't deliver to?

I live in Frisco, Texas. It is an upscale suburb of Dallas. About 1 in 3 packages to my residence from UPS and Fedex do their final mile by USPS.
