"Some people have a strong belief, and faith, in democracy and democratic leaders. To the point that they'd join up and go fight if called upon."

There must be some serious cognitive dissonance going on in those people who give Congress and the President abysmally low ratings and yet believe in democracy so much that they'd join the military and then trust their elected leaders (who they have such awful opinions of) to "do the right thing" when deciding who to wage war on.
