The majority of American's are sick of war and 70% are against a military strike on Iran, according to "...a nationwide opinion survey just released as a report (Foreign Policy in the New Millennium) by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. Conducted in late May and early June 2012..."
Word to the right, next time they start talking about what is (and what is not) patriotic.Here's a few other positions (the majority of American's have) on issues regarding the military:
69 percent said that, despite the war in Afghanistan, the United States was no safer from terrorism.
67 percent of respondents said they [Iraq/Afghanistan wars] had not been worth fighting
82 percent of those surveyed favored bringing U.S. troops home from Afghanistan by 2014 or by an earlier date.
68 percent of respondents favored cutting U.S. spending on the military
56 percent of respondents agreed that, when dealing with international problems, the United States should be more willing to make decisions within the United Nations, even if that meant that the United States would not always get its way.
78 percent of respondents said that the United States was playing the role of a world policeman more than it should.
Overall...Americans favor a less militarized U.S. government approach to world affairs than currently exists.
