When soldiers were part of society, people recognized them as ordinary human beings. Now, with the emergence of the all-volunteer army, society has transferred the burden of war to a small, self-contained caste cut off from the American mainstream. This distance allows civilians to develop extravagant fantasies about soldiers that feed the militarist impulse. After all, if we believe our soldiers are superheroes, it makes sense to send them to faraway battlefields to solve our perceived problems in the world. Some solid critical thinking here.
