If the military desired peace, they wouldn't fight in the war.
Either the military is entirely ignorant, or entirely subjugated, or the military desires war, for it brings military glory and faster promotion.
However, now, alluding to the present US troops, they probably are less prone to desire war, for the passion is not supported by the cause, meaning the reason for going to war does not equate or supercede the reason for not fighting in the war.
In a sense, people involved in war, once desired it, considering they are not willing to fight for peace and they volunteered to fight in the war in the first place... If the military does not want war, then they should refuse to fight in it. To have principle, requires that one be subservient to God prior to country... When subservience to country conflicts with God’s Will, then one should abort war, and keep ones crown.
The only way war can be deemed as justice is when the principles which demand war as a means to achieving peace, are greater than the principles which refuse war, as a means to achieving peace... Whichever decision is more likely to bring peace, and whichever decision involves a higher standard of value, is the right decision. America does not need to be at war right now. If we withdrawal our military from Iraq, there is a better chance that violence will calm down... Even though we think we suppress enmity, or even prevent it from being inflicted on us, in actuality, we provoke enmity, when our presence is more wide spread.
There are many legitimate ways out of this war, without the situation exacerbating once we leave. The problem is, when the government is confronted with a situation where they should be obsequious and giving, they instead are selfish; for those who value reason, and practice rationality forget faith and tend to place selfishness above generosity, or even altruism.
I do know and have talked to people in the military. Some of the military believes they are fighting terror by enforcing law and diffusing troops. Some of the military is excited to kill Muslim, regardless of whether their reason to fight us makes more sense then our reason to fight them. Many of these people are so brainwashed or blinded by patriotism that they see every Muslim as an animal that is willing to kill thousands of people, to which, very few of them are... Not all people abdicate to dehumanizing attempts to reprogram ones mentality. Lastly, some don't believe in the war, but feel there is nothing to do about it.
The military is taking over Iraq, as it is necessary in the path towards defending ourselves against a larger threat, Iran. Initially, they needed to invade Iraq to take out Saddam, to which they thought was the main source of hate in Iraq... We should have kept him alive as we could have got him to appease his men, or his troops by speaking out against hatred, to which he did before he died. Opposing the death penalty is more respectful in a nation, and that might have earned us some much needed respect, in addition to sending a message to the dissolved nation of Iraq that killing is wrong, regardless of the situation...
What we didn’t expect was the remnants of hostility in Iraq to continue to grow, or linger, and section out. The reason their nations has no order may attribute to the fact that they have no strong federal government to keep them stabilized. Plus, the intrusiveness of American troops have left them feeling weak, and rebellious, leaving fighting as the only reasonable decision in maintaining their legitimacy and respect as a nation.
Once again, I will say, if the military desired peace, they would not, fight in the war, unless they are subjugated.
