first world war?
was america even under threat of invasion during the first word war? was it really 'defence' they were involved in
was america really at such a danger that the military was in 'defence' mode defending its border. or in 'offence' mode going into other countries borders
funny part is america was in the 'offence' mode when it went into the ottoman empires borders and started clashes there, which ripples into the anger, revenge resentment and holding a grudge that lead to the whole 'terrorist' attacks this millenia
but lets just be quiet about that and pretend america are peaceful and doing it all just as a 'defence' for its people.
much like lets avoid school shooters who terrorise kids being referred to as terrorists and just call them 'lone gunmen' just to avoid bad press.
i personally do praise veterans. not for their actions. but their bravery to risk their lives. even if the cause was unjust.

Hey, it was called Department of War not Defense, until 1947. To their defense (pun), they had a more honest nomenclature back then...
Of course they meddled even more in foreign affairs under the pretense of the cold war and "communist expansion", and by then it was already Department of Defense (against
And they still did a lose job...
Personally, I would say retired hitmen is far too strong a term. Sure, they are often sanctioned to kill the enemy forces, but they are not paid to kill innocent people (most of the time).
Also, the punishment for not complying with orders was often harsh, whereas desertion was much worse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desertion
A lot of people didn't agree with what they were doing, but had to continue for their own safety.
