Propaganda. Lots and lots and lots of propaganda.

Propaganda about being the first line to get sacrificed in every alien invasion? Lol

I don't know if you've lived in rural America, but I have, and the fast track to quasi-celebrity status out there is to join the Marines or get KIAd. Americans have been heavily propagandized about making the great and noble sacrifice to "defend the country".

Yeah, the US, particularly rural US, has been propagandized an absolutely ridiculous amount. Being seen to sacrifice or die for the empire is seen as a glorious thing both in and for your community.
