I wish everyone was as rational as you. I see people constantly celebrating the death of Russian soldiers and it grosses me out. They're dumb 19 year olds who believe dumb, wrong shit for the same reason most Americans believe dumb, wrong shit. American interventions overseas since 2001 have killed hundreds of thousands of civilians, including women and children, yet many Americans don't seem to ever think of our troops as problematic.
The headline on CNN right now is "Putin is scaring the world to distract from his problems". If anyone reads that and doesn't immediately recognize it as propaganda (or at best, not real journalism) then they're doing as poorly as the Russians who are pro-war.
Which American country you have in your mind and why? Americas have both democratic countries and dictatorships. It is hard to make a two-continent-wide generalization. Pick up a country, a war, and a side first, then I will tell you.
I feel like you're being pointlessly pedantic and clearly not discussing in good faith. And not even in a correct way - it's a defined and accepted usage of "American" as an adjective to specify things as being part of the US, and especially when "American" is used to describe a concept that clearly has a national origin (a military). No one says "the American military" to refer to the Nicaraguan Armed Forces. I'm going to disengage here but i hope you have a good day
