Um, you are right about how it was used to " back up American values". This is precisely the problem ⚠️ It should be used to protect people from oppression, not used as a weapon to oppress which it has only done since its conception.

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.
