Why Do We Value Soldiers Over Scholars?

I understand it is out of respect, but our government shouldn't be in lands that pose no threat to us. An army should protect its shores and for a country that does more than double the amount of military spending than most of the modern world combined, we live on an almost uninvadeable piece on land.

here here, but you'll find quite a few military empire apologists here.
Especially those that actually donated part of their lives to the empire and their wall st funded (arbitraged and profited from) wars of choice.
WE ARE AN EMPIRE.
Our so called military inhabits over 2/3rd of the planet.
If I were to ask ANYBODY here or elsewhere if they think the U.S. should rule over Earth, EACH AND EVERY ONE will say "of course not!". Then ask (the obvious) "Are we a global empire?" Again the answer is in the negative... or at the least "well, not really".
Then point to where our bases are built, nation by nation.
Nobody even realizes what they are saying anymore.
We just continue to make up dumb excuses.
AND we will deserve what is coming.
No nation surrounds another if they don't want trouble, and BOYS, we've got MOSCOW surrounded.
In case some of you haven't noticed, and no, few too few of us pay attention.
