Why are Americans so proud of military service when the United States military is essentially the worlds largest terrorist organization?

Based on the amount of innocent lives destroyed by the US military, the ignorance and blind patriotism of those who enlist, and the fact that the world is now actually less safe because of the actions of these soldiers, why do Americans find military service honorable? While it is extremely unlikely for an American to be hurt by terrorism, he US military, has sexually assaulted, tortured, raped, and killed thousands of innocent families and children all the while claiming to be protecting people from terrorism What makes them any different from ISIS?

    What makes them any different from ISIS?

    One of the more obvious differences between the US Military and ISIS is that the rest of the world is crying for the US Military to help protect them from ISIS and not visa versa...

    Because U.S. Military Members fight to protect U.S. interests, and not the interests of others.

    It is time to put America and Americans first.

    Clueless anti-military rant reported.

    Seems you whiny little Europeans haven't looked at the rows and rows of white crosses and the sacrifice America and others made so your Grandparents could stop goose-stepping.

    If ignorance is bliss you are one happy little clueless dweeb.
