Are you implying that it could be a honeypot of some kind? If so, that's something I worry about a lot with many VPNs, but less so with a decentralized network running on free software. I would guess that the US military funds Tor because they use it themselves. Their involvement is not something to ignore, but it is also not a reason to reject Tor any more than it is a reason to reject the Internet. If the Tor network did not provide effective anonymity and privacy from the US government, I think that things likely would have gone differently for Edward Snowden.
