All this lofty talk is about stuff that can be observed but not effected. At the end of the day it's all about the money. People are in a mood to blindly strike out, and what better way than with guns, bombs and drones? The otherwise unemployed young people who wield all that weaponry understand the need for the hierarchy that makes them a cohesive team in the field. They don't think twice once given the order, about pulling the string on any of those weapons - which is as it should be. Rarely though does it occur to them that they might be expending in a second enough cash to have put a dozen students through college, fund programs to deter kids from joining gangs back in the 'hood or a million other things. The people who ended up with that cash have no desire to run the well dry. As of late, there has been an amazingly stable level of global conflict and threat; it "almost" looks like levels are being manipulated to maintain a constant level of costs. As much conflict as can be sustained. You don't want to kill the golden goose by letting things get so fast and furious that the pitchforks come out and social order totally breaks down... but if you can keep the strife going at a manageable level, you can keep making money from domestic applications, even as you continue to feed the cash cows of "global terrorism", "Russian aggression" etc. To do this, all you need is representation in government, and since Citizens United, Americans have committed to letting that representation go to the highest bidder. The real pity, is that it is now in the interest of these elected clowns to continue to degrade the lives of the very segment of people whom they claim to represent. As long as the rabble remain compliant, all that is needed is something to be ever more angry about and a demon to blame for it. ISIS is the greatest thing EVER for the arms suppliers.
Psychoanalyzing the Trump military supporter is entertaining, but pretty pointless other than that.
