Well it might not be "your" government anymore, but the bodies who are signing up to be at "their" disposition are "your" people. Simply if it was not your government anymore, there would be no volunteering soldiers. American exceptionalism at it's best, now that things aren't going that well, you can't blame the American people, the people in charge must be labelled as something foreign, as in "occupation", to make it seem like it's not your fault.
