In a democratic system, civilians take responsibility for the actions of their military, and if the military conscripts are being used for stupid foreign war games, the civilians step in to change the political leadership that authorized that idiocy via the democratic process. Of course, America is no longer a democracy, it's a kleptocratic oligarchy in which the politicians are little more than puppets of their billionaire donors, so that system has been short-circuited.
