Maybe I'm confusing is and ought, but I don't think Americans are pissed with the military per se, or if so, the anger is maybe misplaced. Ideally, and mostly true in practice, the US military is a neutral tool of the State. I for one am truly thankful that the US military has a culture of staying out of politics. Historically, states decline into authoritarianism and ruin once the military starts running things. Unlike, for instance, the 3-letter agencies, who do actively engage in political maneuvering. These organizations, ostensibly comprised of patriots, should really look at history and introspect.
