Americans aren't addicted to war, but we are addicted to freedom.
If the vast majority of the population is against war; how then are we addicted to war? Please explain.

PLEASE tell me you are being sarcastic.
Americans are addicted to War, the vast majority of the population are against the war.

Easy, the vast majority of Americans aren't in control of the military.

Are we addicted to wars? Maybe. Is the opposing sides that we fought against for the last half century that are addicted to wars as well? Maybe also. If you get my meaning.

“All nationalists have the power of not seeing resemblances between similar sets of facts,” said Orwell. “Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits but according to who does them, and there is almost no kind of outrage-torture, the use of hostages, forced labor, mass deportations, imprisonment without trial, forgery, assassination, the bombing of civilians-which does not change its moral color when committed by ‘our’ side.… The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them.”
