Great post, I approach this topic on other media and rarely get a response.
Times are changing, but most would never put down there so called protectors. But the machine rages on, out of control, to the point of world dominance ! I'm sure only a chosen few troops can even bullshit themselves that their doing hero's work, making the world a better or safer place bla bla bla mental illness is rampant in the military among the many that kill without reason, fighting people that have every reason to kill them.

I don't know. I think many really do believe this. They also have, from their perspective, evidence they can point to of humanitarian aid delivered by the military.
That said, I agree with you, there is a lot of mental illness and PTSD going on. Once the "war is honorable!" narrative collapsed, cognitive dissonance has been kicking it hard.
