It's 75% bullshit and 25% misleading truth.
Many US politicians seem to believe that the brains of US citizens automatically turn off as soon as someone utters the words "freedom" or "democracy" (or, even better: both)
For example I'm always laughing out loud whenever US-politicians etc. claim that terrorists hate America because they hate freedom or democracy. This is so ridiculous that I always believe those politicians must believe their fellow countrymen to be complete brainwashed idiots.
On the other hand, when politicians say that the military is fighting for your freedoms, they are strictly speaking not completely lying. Instead, it's more a euphemism for saying "the military is fighting to ensure Americas wealth and "interests", and the average US citizen benefits from these military actions as well". When they say freedom, they don't mean "freedom" as in "freedom of speech", instead they rather mean freedoms like "freedom to drive a bigass gasoline guzzling SUV because we have the money and oil stays cheap". They are talking about the kinds of freedoms that wealthy people have but poor people don't.
