The sad irony is that the majority of these soldiers are the children of trump supporters. And he is looking to expand the US forces in many countries.
I dont consider myself any safer because those poor soldiers are obeying bad orders.
Every time we go over there and drone strike some village we are only creating even more terrorists. We create dozens more for every one that we kill. Our military and political leadership does not seem to grasp that you cannot kill an idea with bombs, bullets, and missiles.
I would say they are defending our interests. Interest is not as altruistic a concept as freedom, but I believe there is an indirect relationship between the two.

Which takes nothing away from those who live up to the oath they took and do the jobs they swore that they would do. If only the same could be said for those who often send them on less than sensible, unnecessary missions.

And so many have no clue why terrorists continue what they are doing..so much of the world continues to destroy their world.
They get a grasp, they don't care, it's about the continued flow of $$$$ into their businesses.
No they're there to preserve defense contractors and the petrodollar
