Staff Sargeant Bales doesn't represent or reflect on all members of the military. 
By and large, the United States armed forces are reasonable people in a crappy situation.  War is messed up.

Militarily, it's long past time to get out of Afghanistan.  We screwed it up and we can't unscrew it up by staying - things just get worse.
We could/should try to keep a humanitarian presence though.
