Our military was once viewed with great respect around the world, seen as a power used for the most part to back up American values. Today it’s often viewed with great disdain around the world, seen as a power used for the most part to back up American corporate interests.

Respect in this regard is the use of a trullo big word that only could be backed up with remorseless military power & force in the past, aka Hiroshima for example.

Once viewed with fear if not respect and now viewed with hatred for & of today's American values of greed & war-mongering Marianne.

I don't know if you naively believe that or if this is one of those times where lefties try to make their ideas more palpable to a "mainstream" audience by pandering to nationalistic pride. In either case, it simply isn't true.

O que são "valores americanos" e qual a lógica de eles saírem a defender esses valores fora das fronteiras americanas? Se você considera esses valores como algum tipo de conceito elevado de civilização isso não seria arrogante por parte de vocês?

Don't know about that. The banana wars come to mind. Look up Gen. Smedley Butler's War Is a Racket.

Example: invading Iraq (not-ally oil country) pretending Saddam had weapons of mass destruction (he didn't), and financing criminal dictatorship of ally Saudi Arabia.
