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.

Name one time the American Military has ever stood for anything other than imperialist colonialism. This is nonsense.

Marianne, delete this then go read War is a Racket by Gen. Smedley D. Butler. Our military has always operated on behalf of corporate interests.

Since WWII, America has been responsible for the deaths of 20-30 million people. America is a monster.

Wait until you hear what the US Marine Corp did to Nicaragua in 1927-1933 😬 Intervened to get exclusive rights to the building of the Nicaragua Canal just so no one could compete with the Panama Canal - always been used for corporate interests

The U.S. military has been a force of colonialism since Manifest Destiny. So yes, definitely "a power to back up American values," but not the good ones.
