When was the last time a marine died protecting our rights?
oh yeah, thats right, the 18th century. maaaaaybe 1945, if you count japan as threatening our rights.

that said, while I (for the most part) don't support military action in any situation that doesnt involve specific risk of invasion, and certain humanitarian/peacekeeping missions (and since what someone may view as a peacekeeping mission would be an invasion and occupation to someone else...), I harbor absolutely no animosity to the actual members of the military (the top brass, maybe not so much, but thats just me hating authority), coming from a military family myself and being very familiar with many, many military families and servicemembers.

Hate the organization, not the people... just like you should for any other group, movement, organization you dnt agree with.
