They obviously believe that people are worth saving from brutality and tyranny.

You mis-understand the purpose of the US military.

The purpose of the US military is to protect US interests, not to save people from brutality and tyrrany.

Both of my Marine sons understand that. Your Bronze star boy likely does too.

FReegards!

My Bronze Star son also understands that what he did was to save innocent people from brutality and tyranny as he was also protecting US interests.

The same occurred in WWII. The two goals are not mutually exclusive.
