"In the US, all troops are revered as heroes while I regard many of them as serial killers."
Do not go to the US with that attitude. You will become a victim of your serial killers very quickly.
Yes, US citizens revere their servicemen, I've seen it in action with complete strangers approaching uniformed soldiers in a restaurant to 'thank them for their service'.
You might feel differently if you were in the US when the planes were flying in to the World Trade Centre.
