Wow, the level of ignorance some people openly display is just amazing!
The military is there for a reason. You don't have to understand it, but just know that it has a distinct purpose, and is 100% essential to YOUR personal safeguarding.
Or to put it another way - Chris Kyle joined the military due to his own personal reasons, and his resulting actions were orders from his superiors - who in turn had a mandate sanctioned by the government elected by popular vote. That means the majority of your population have decided on having a military that is active outside its borders, as well as being okay with all the effects of doing so (such as having individuals proud of their achievements. And besides, if it wasn't him there would be someone else ordered to pull the trigger).
Don't forget! It's the military that ultimately lets you sleep relatively safe at night. If you don't believe me, then go pop a visit to the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and see what it feels like wondering if you are going to be attacked any night, with all your possessions looted, wife/daughter raped and children kidnapped for child soldiers. They don't have a statutory force to protect them, and therefore have to live with such a constant risk!
Sleep tight!
