Have you actually had a conversation with anyone outside the US about what they think about US govt/military policy? Most people are too polite to say these things unless specifically asked.

By the way, I am not an American and I don't live in the US. So I have a perspective on this which you probably don't have.

OP is speaking about Americans, not the American military.

Those are correlated. If your military is killing civilians en masse and over half the country is still celebrating the military, putting up flags everywhere, shouting F YEAH MURICA at every turn, then those people are ignoring the truth. Here in Germany there really is a growing blanket hate of American military policy and by extension American mainstream populace.
