Iran US relations: Tehran demands the release of frozen assets upfront and adds Yemen conditions following the collapse of a prior agreement, hardening its stance against Washington in the ongoing Middle East conflict.
While I understand your point… I think you will find a much larger number of people from Iran willing to become a suicide bomber compared to marines knowingly throwing themselves to death for the mission
I am not attempting to qualify either here are better or worse, just that religion fanatics are much more likely to go to extremes
I world put the “some” qualifier before US soldiers.
I’ve met my fair share that are who you describe, but I’ve also got some dear friends who worked in the military. One was because his dad is a two star general. The other was because it was the easiest way (for him) to get out of Utah. Both are religious, but they aren’t zealots.
I honestly can’t say for sure but I doubt it… anecdotally, the few Americans I know who did serve, did so as a way to get higher education paid for. None seem to have any particular love for what they were asked to do
This is of course anecdotal as I said, I do not know nearly enough people to say for sure nor have I read in-depth about this topic

you’re just flat wrong. american military propaganda and brainwashing is on par with the propaganda we are told happens in other militaries.
every accusation is an admission
I think you’re forgetting that US soldiers are also religious fanatics that grow up with the same level of abusive indoctrination.
