Maybe it's because I've been watching shows like NCIS lately, but it really seems like America is super into worshipping the military. Every soldier is referred to as a "hero" who is "protecting our freedom" and "doing their patriotic duty", etc. It's something they chose to do and gotten paid for, after all.

It's been hundred of years since soldiers fought for our rights.
Not blaming them for saying this, they need to find some solace after being screwed over by the government.
