A comment on U.S. Army: “How has serving impacted you?”. Parent comment
I don't think you can say the US Army is promoting any violence against civilians, but it is harming civilians, even though it's not promoting that.
Copy-pasting from a previous comment (made by me):

> Taking "2017 Shayrat missile strike" as a random example (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Shayrat_missile_strike) shows that specific mission had at least 9 civilian casualties.
> So even if not intended, the US army are in fact using violence against civilians (like probably most armies in the world)
