>>82198Why?
It’s simple as fuck why Americans don’t care
They believe their military keeps them safe
They like having the most powerful military in the world because it means they’ll be safe from any foreign attack while in the homeland
And they’re also propagandized via films, television, and video games to see the US military as superheroes
The Avengers is unironically how the US military portrays itself
And remember, the USM also isn’t like, say, the British Empire or the Wehrmacht, they don’t push propaganda saying that the people they invade and murder are subhuman savage monsters; instead they say that they’re actually going to save and liberate people and aren’t planning on harming a single civilian
And to back this up in the minds of the public, the USM regularly releases video footage of themselves doing things like handing out candies to children in occupied countries, building hospitals, going around giving kids high fives, being kindly with elders and shit
Remember, when the US military invaded Iraq in 2003 they told the American people that the Iraqis would join them in a revolution and thank them for deposing Saddam Hussein
And public perception more or less turned against the war with the start of the Iraqi Insurgency
So the answer isn’t that people are distracted by “Muh gay, trans, black drone pilot”, rather they just have sophisticated propaganda introduced to them; like, hypothetically if the USM actually WAS just doing the shit they claim for the public they actually WOULDN’T be evil; you really can’t say that with the British imperial military or the armies of Nazi Germany
