I agree. The societal view that joining the military and dying is a just and selfless act worthy of our thanks and praise has to end. More so when justification is to protect "our interests" and "our way of life" - when said way of life is to better ourselves due to the exploitation of others. Until the military is seen for what it is, war will be continual and cyclical until we destroy this planet and make it all but inhabitable.
