Your Effective Military Strength affects:


 * how much damage the galaxy sustains in the Destroy and Control endings;
 * which choices are available to you in the final decision;
 * how well the fleet fighting for the Crucible is able to do against the Reapers;
 * the fate of the Normandy crew when it crashes;
 * the fate of the squadmates accompanying you on the run to the Crucible.

Since this can all be found on this very wiki, it just shows that you couldn't be bothered to verify your stance before ranting about it.

"I doubt anyone other than those with god-like powers of precognition could see ME3's ending coming."

I thought that destroying and controlling the Reapers would be options for stopping them, based on the various characters advocating both options. I also knew that I was going to be finding the Catalyst upon the Citadel, and suspected that I would encounter the creator of the Reapers and learn of the reason for their existence, based on Vendetta's inferrence on the Reapers being the servants of the cycles and not their creator. And I knew that there would be a big twist in the end, based on Mass Effect's love of big twists in the end. And ultimately, I was not disappointed in any of those counts, or with the ending as a whole.

That's not "god-like powers of precognition". It's called "acknowledging foreshadowing".
