{{globalize/US|date=November 2013}}Militaries and their troops are held in high regard in the United States, where military officers are considered to have one of the most prestigious jobs.[1][2]

Public opinion by country

While military support is very high in most countries, there is variation. While 10% of Canadians viewed the military as "not at all favorable,"[3] only 3% of Britons had a "low" or "very low" view of the military.[4] 65% of Russians believe their military, which is the second largest in the world, does their job "just about always" or "most of the time." [5]

In the United States, 89% of white Americans had a "very" or "somewhat" favorable opinion of the military, compared to 77% of Latinos and 72% of blacks.[6]

Change over time

In the United States, public opinion of the military was very low during the Vietnam War.[7] The public perception increased considerably between the early 1970s to the late 1990s, with the exception of briefly after the Gulf War, when support was around 60%, the percentage of Americans who said they had a "very favorable" view of the US military hovered between 20% and 30%. By 2007, 47% claimed a "very favorite" view of the military and 84% expressed a "favorable" view.[8]

Opposition to the Iraq War was comparable to opposition to the Vietnam War, but unlike the Vietnam War, opposition to the Iraq War did not correlate with a significant decrease in public opinion of military personnel themselves.
