I think that has always been true even if most do not see it that way.

They are soldiers being used as pawns. Some put their time in and get out once they decide what's better for them selves. Others stay and hope they are doing a service for their respective countries or regions. There are military personnel that have put so much time in, they stay regardless in the hopes of collecting retirement.
They don't make very much for what they do and were originally intended for. By comparison, it makes most other positions and professions severely, grossly, over paid. They literally, have put their lives on the line for their regions. Terrorism being an immediate threat with politics continually woven through out.
People that have the freedoms they have in any nation or country; can thank their military. Some of them with the aid of other countries and/or nations.
Sadly; there are places under the thumb of their military. A reverse of what many might envision armed forces are for.
Whether people like it or not; if mankind itself weren't so power hungry, hateful,selfish and destructive; There wouldn't be a need for so many countries to have armed forces. They do serve a purpose. Many through the centuries have paid the ultimate price.

well said. that they are sometimes pawns to the whim of the powerful does not mean their service is not appreciated or needed. it is both.

I think soldiers are political pawns, but I'm also aware of how grateful (some of?) the German people were when the Americans arrived. They were brave men.
Political pawns who also saved my mother's life.

You make it sound like they die for nothing. What about the oil and the trade routes? They're worth a lot of money. Better to have a war where you get something out of it is all I'm saying.
Not like WWII where the globe united to get Germany down on jumped-up charges. Was it worth the sacrifice? Are we better off? Or did we not unleash a marxist menace both at home and in the east? Just think of all the heroes who would be alive today and all the reprobates who wouldn't if we had opposed the Brother's war and all its senseless destruction.

I do understand
One does not have to be an American to be a soldier. Until the finish of WW2 the British had the finest Navy in the world and the finest Air Force (only rivaled at the time by Germany, but I choose English - that's another conversation, anyway)
I have lived much of my life near an Air Force base and have lived near other bases. I think they understand far better than most how the Chessboard is set up :)

It's not like they come up with the idea to invade another country on their own merit. They are the tools used by the governments to do the 'manual labour'.
It's not like there's a shortage of people lining up to do the work either.

What's sad about it?
It's not as if it's a massive surprise to them and let's also remember, most of them sign up for it. National service isn't that big a thing these days.
