The Great Wall of China was constructed by the Qin Dynasty. Its purpose was to keep barbarians like the Mongols away from the more populated Han China.

It didn't really work though because barbarians, again, the Mongols, went around it.

It is now just used as a massive tourist attraction bringing in almost 10 million tourists a year. Basically its just a big source of revenue now.

Explanation:

2,300 years ago the first sections of the Great Wall were built to keep outsiders out, but ironically it is now rebuilt to draw tourists in. Over the centuries, the Great Wall has been built and rebuilt for three main purposes: as kingdom border defenses, to defend China's northern border, and for tourism.

PolarNik [594]

Hi there!

From what what this question is saying it sounds like that the Americans being used as "insurance policies to guarantee the safe delivery of munitions"  must mean that the Americans were to insure safe transport of the munitions of war from location to location. So, Senator Norris must mean that the munitions of war are guaranteed safe transport by American citizens used as insurance policies.
