I think your perception of US as being anti-military is mostly wrong. The vast majority of Americans love their military. The US wouldn't have doubled its military budget in the past decade if most people didn't support it enthusiastically. They wouldn't stand and cheer members of the military at most sporting events, or invite them to board civilian airplanes before anyone else, including the rich or disabled. Americans often offer multiple dissenting opinions because our Constitution invites us to think independently and speak critically. This is a product of our being a breakaway republic separated by revolution which then defined itself and its government just as monarchies became obsolete. Dissent and debate is in our blood.
