It's easy to romanticize foreign countries when visiting on leisure or business, it's altogether different when living there.
No one is saying that there isn't bad associated with military. By and large it is the Pentagon and top brass that are following orders from our politicians that make it so. It wasn't the decision of a rogue pilot to carpet bomb Vietnam, that was Nixon's doing. Sure, there are good and bad in the military, as with any sector of society.
But overall, having a strong military is better than a weak one. Having a volunteer force is what spares your sons, daughters, brothers and sisters from being drafted into service. These young men on the sidelines should be thankful someone is willing to serve in their place so that they can earn $100M contracts to play a silly game.
