It is understandable to be pro-war and a total warmonger because growing up in the United States, all the propaganda we hear and are taught since we are born is done to make us not question or critically think about our imperialist ways.
Growing up and learning the non-propaganda history and other views should shift you away from US military propaganda of liking forever wars and the blind nationalism of bringing "democracy" to Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia.
That is a major downplaying and rewriting of the true history of our country.

I suggest reading up on the military leaks and many more independent journalists, fewer legacy media viewpoints; the major ones are Julian Assange and Edward Snowden leaks.
You do know that people can come to the same conclusion without needing others to tell us what to think or being tricked into seeing the world a certain way...
I suggest learning about the Uhuru Three and the Uhuru Movement: https://lemmy.world/post/23366029
