You're the on who called the Lee Greenwood song "pathetic". And celebrating those who have chosen to serve their country, including those who have gone into harms way and also supported relief efforts after the recent hurricanes, is hardly "militarism". Damn, you've got some pretty cynical ways of looking at the world, don't ya?
