Hang on, how did a US soldier give Donald Trump the freedom to say stupid shit? Who was going to take that freedom away, and perhaps the most bizarre part of all: why did the soldier stop them from taking that freedom away?

Heh there are times I do really wish someone were directly threatening Trump's freedom to speak, but then I enjoy how frequently he is digging his own holes lately.

However to your point, today it's more about the US showing strength which generally discourages anyone from trying to attack us. That does include sending our troops to foreign nations to back up our allies. Even when many of us don't agree with the policies like the never-ending war in the Middle East, our soldiers are still heroes for doing their best to protect the rest of us back home.

Yes, the drone pilots double-tapping weddings sure are heroes.
