Maybe you are only under the impression that your freedom is not threatened due to the legions of people working in the background to secure it.

Not really. I'm a black person in the US. Historically, the people "threatening" our freedom have always been in the US. It's never been the Soviets, never been the VietCong, never been the Sandinistas, never been Al-Qaeda or anyone the US has chosen to go to war with. As Jay-Z said:

"Bin Laden been happening in Manhattan Crack was anthrax back then, back when Police was Al'Qaeda to black men"

Yeah because those "legions of people" surely haven't done more to erode our freedoms over the past decades than some militants in the thord world.

This is similar to the prevention paradox with COVID. We will never know what inaction would have brought.
