Americans are the most propagandized people on Earth. American civil religion runs extremely deep, and the military is largely several more layers of this, combined with a sense of purpose and connection in this atomized civilization.
It takes a whole lot of deprogramming to get someone to even consider that the armed forces are merely the enforcers for billionaires and their criminal aspirations. Say this outright too early and your effort will fall flat on its face.
It's amusing to note that it's easier for veterans to imagine the end of capitalism than to abandon loyalty to the military.
