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.

What's the date reference on this opinionated tweet? Just curious on your timeline.

If your values tell you to start wars-- Vietnam, Korea, bombing Japan, etc.-- then you really need to reassess your values. Or recognize that this isn't new-- almost all of American wars have been for corporate interests from the Mexican American War to Afghanistan.

I would say global corporate interests more than American corporate.

You might want to look at the consistent record of military genocides and regime changes from the 1800’s all the way through now. Maybe there was 5 minutes when they were fighting Nazi’s that they looked good. Pretty hard not to look good when you’re literally fighting Hitler.
