I think you overestimate the degree to which Americans would care. In order to move Americans you’d need to propagandize through media, but all current media has a vested interest in perpetuating the military industrial complex. Any attempt to withdraw and dismantle the MIC would lead to thousands of sad stories of the people hurt by its loss. Workers in the weapons factories, rebel groups we’ve propped up, entire economies who depend on the subsidies, etc. the final result would be apathy and finally more of the same. The only thing America can do is continue down the path it’s set for itself, and the only thing intelligent people can do is remove themselves from it to the extent that they can, wait for it to finally devour itself, and hope it doesn’t destroy the rest of the world in its death throes.

All it would take is for Americans to be exposed to the facts of their victims. The magnitude of the crimes against humanity being committed by the US' War Coalition is SO HUGE that its no wonder that American media is falling over itself to suppress any reporting on the ground from these wars. But, Americans, the rest of the world IS watching, and we DO know the facts - we aren't cowardly shielding our eyes from the 37 million war refugees created so that America has someone to drop bombs on. The burning piles of rubble are NOT going away just because American media is ignoring it at the behest of their intelligence community masters. The leaks will continue, and the hubris that seizes any solution-making will be eroded.
