The short answer is no they are fighting wars for the governing elite and for the corporate interests which they represent.
The long answer is far too much to get into, however many things are not as they seem and I encourage everyone to think outside the box and to do their own research. Free your mind and you and the world will be better off.

Surely you can't expect Grandma and Grandpa to stop watching Fox News.  To have to actually do some critical thinking instead of being fed talking points goes way beyond most Americans.  Personally, I hardly bother with national/worldwide news anymore.  I click on Google News and look at a few of the headlines.  I then move to the technology news section.

Good point. Sadly it seems most average people are either ignorant or are stuck in too much debt to focus on the big political picture.
