He served in the US armed forces. Check out his origin story

  He was also tortured by the military and given his metal skeleton and claws against his will, killed people to escape iirc, etc. He hates the people who did that to him and understandably has a chip on his shoulder a mile wide.

    Also, he's Canadian.

      Yes, true. I didn't remember that. Thank you. But even if you don't remember that, I can't fathom anyone seeing his origin story as somehow pro military. It's quite critical of the military. He continues to have nightmares about what was done to him. This is why he stabs Rogue, who really should have died from it and only didn't because she is able to "borrow" his powers to heal herself. She was trying to wake him up from a nightmare. And his ongoing hatred of the military and the people who did that to him shows up as plot points in various stories. So it isn't simply his backstory I the past. This is part of the ongoing storyline. So how anyone can say "He was in the military once -- check his origin story" as evidence that his story is highly pro military is beyond me.
