I think they are used as political pawns too much. If any politician votes down a military budget request, or wants to reduce the size of the military, they are seen as unpatriotic.
I think they are great for fighting against nations that have lots of people who don't like us and want to or have harmed us. I'm not sure the majority of the current military is needed to fight the covert & physiological war to reduce the number of enemy combatants. I have respect for those who are fighting to make the world better, I don't have respect for those who are ignorant and are making things worse.
