These soldiers spend their days doing important work to defend our nation.

The U.S. military has done nothing to defend their "nation" for over 100 years. They ONLY defend the corporate oligarchs' ability to steal resources and use slave labor in third world countries.

I am of the mindset that a good thing done for selfish reasons is still ultimately a good thing done.
