Jeff, you have a very unique and rather perceptive perspective on things. :
)  As I read your description of present-day America I thought about the
Warhammer 40k pulp science fiction novels (well-written, great action
adventure fun, but does show war as very nightmarish) where the human
Imperium has been in a constant state of war for millennia against various
alien and human enemies.  Propoganda spews forth to propel the common people
to brace for more and more hardship as human society sinks into
deep decline.  Special forces troops known as Space Marines, products of
extremely advanced genetic engineering and cybernetic enhancement,
barely hold the line against wave after wave of invaders.
