That is why we should all try to discourage anyone we know from joining the military.
They would not be fighting, killing, and dying for what they're told they are.
Unfortunately, the powers that be have no interest in the soldiers they send out to war, to kill, die, or be maimed for life.
War is big money, and the US particularly knows that, but the public are brainwashed into thinking it's all about morals. No, it has nothing to do with the benefits of humankind, only the benefits of the oligarch's bank accounts.

I greatly appreciate your mind-boggling comment, DominantASMR, and I really hope many viewers will take the time to read it. There is no "glory" in war.

@Vandalgia
I agree with what you've said to me, except that I didn't call his friend a psychopath. I said "Psychopaths (plural) always enjoy killing and maiming people....." after he'd said how much his friend "loved" serving in the marines. We all know how many screwed up people join the military and the police force, as well as other government authorities. Neither do I hate soldiers.
The mistake that many Americans make, when discussing their war-mongering country's military presence in the world, is to make comparisons between the US and Russia, China, North Korea and many other countries. "America's a much better country than any of those", etc, like that makes it okay to invade other countries, and as if that would make any difference in the first place. Ignorance is not bliss.
The US government isn't interested in the well-being of any other country than itself, and its only goal is power and money. Neither does it care about the deaths of its military men and women, as they can always be replaced by the John and Jane Does who foolishly believe in what they're being told.
If the incredible amounts of money which the US spends on wars was spent on creating a better and peaceful world for all, America would most likely be highly respected worldwide. On the contrary, the US is justifiably despised for its greed and power-grabbing attitudes towards the rest of the world. It would rather make enemies than create a friendly world.
The truth isn't always kind to our ears, eyes, or minds, but it cannot be denied.

Indeed so, Strype13, but it all boils down to an insecurity of status within one's society, and the lengths to which people will go to acquire the upper echelons of that.
Unfortunately, the human race hasn't really changed very much over many centuries and, from my own perspective (I'm 72), we don't seem to have learnt anything much from the past. To this day, we still attach far too much importance to our appearances and, if anything, it has now reached a very dangerous level of sacrificing one's own well-being (or that of other's) to achieve a very false and useless existence.
Stay safe and well, wherever you are, and treat all others as you would wish them to treat you.😉😊
