Do you think that military service has become just another form of a 'government job'?

Our military personnel are being used to protect US business interests & to secure US access to the natural resources (basically oil at this point in time) of the countries in which we now have a military presence. Given the fact that there is very little in the way of job opportunity available for our young people, it makes it a great deal easier to recruit our disenfranchised young people & persuade them of the supposedly “honorable” service in the military. The military is still wrapping itself up in the flag & telling everyone that they are “defending the freedom” of the US – but what it is doing is protecting the business interests of the various big US corporations. The military is using drones & heavy duty weaponry to decimate the populations of these countries that have been invaded. The military keeps propping up the various governments that have been put in power in these countries, governments that really have almost no support among the people they are supposed to represent. To keep these governments in power in these countries, it will take decades of our military presence to stop them from being toppled. We have been in Afghanistan now for 10 years; we celebrated the withdrawal of our troops from Iraq – but we still have thousands of troops on the ground in Iraq who did NOT get to come home. Our military has not been involved in any war that represented anything in the way of “Honor” since WWII & this was the last war in which our military was actually defending our freedoms. Now the military is just another facet of the military/industrial complex.
