I think you are in love with your country and its people and trying to project your feeling here ; but i guess in reality its totally opposite

US has participated in more than 100 coups around the world, more than 100 military/conflicts and has more than 800 military bases around the world - its an empire which needs enemy to survive and prosper ; kind of a power hungry all the time ( nobody put soldiers in these situation if they really care about its people)

The U.S. post-9/11 wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen, and Somalia have taken a tremendous human toll. The total death toll in these war zones, including direct and indirect deaths, is at least 4.5-4.7 million and counting. Of these, an estimated 408,000 civilians died directly from war violence. Precise mortality figures remain unknown. ( https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/costs/human/civilians)

As of April 2024, 22% of Americans say they trust the government in Washington to do what is right “just about always” (2%) or “most of the time” (21%).

I think if ordinary people do not realize it and close their eyes; and don't try to fix the situation/govt it will continue with this love affair of wars/sufferings; while local population continues to suffer and be divided in sea of blue and red
