It's more convoluted than "We want to exploit resources" as far as I know we don't take any resources from the countries we invade. That's a really shitty take tbh. We actually do the opposite, such as Afghanistan, where we invaded to go after the Taliban and Osama bin Laden, and then helped rebuild and attempted to teach the Afghans how to fight for themselves, but that didn't pan out and it was on them, not us. Most people especially in the early 2000's enlisted because of 9/11 and some people still do today, seeing as terrorist groups that want Americans dead are still out there. The "romanticization" is because unlike most countries including a majority of Europe, we don't conscript. It's an all-volunteer force, meaning that YOU have to make the decision whether to put your life on the line or not, it's not forced upon by the government. And people enlist or reup because they love the people who they serve and swear to protect, not the government's interests.
