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.

Tell that to Britain after WW1 ended. Woodrow Wilson and your Govt, purposely hindered Britain's recovery, as we were seen as "Competition". Your lovely country actually supported Germany, against Britain. The US and UK are not "allies". Respect? Earn it .

If the world is JUST NOW seeing the U.S. military is largely used to back up corporate interests...they are behind by many decades/centuries (?).

"Our military was once viewed with great respect around the world". Liberal schlock

"Our military was once viewed with great respect around the world..." Yeah, in 1945. Virtually no one alive now was even an adult back then. Also, you say it's "seen as a power used... to back up American corporate interests." You say that as if it's not true. But it IS that!
