Personally, I'm not a big fan of the whole army thing but I'm guessing your decision to enlist and now re-enlist isn't really about whether it's the "right" thing to do (can't honestly believe anyone signs up to shoot people and believe it's morally righteous) but because it's a job with stable pay that isn't too hard to get.
If you're happy with killing people and you don't have any preferrable options in the civilian world then go for it. If you think you can get a decent job elsewhere that you'll enjoy as much as being a marine then do that instead. Go for whichever will provide the greatest quality of life for you. Personally I don't see what America's foreign policy has to do with enlisting (unless you're one of those chaps who joins the army and then whines at getting shot at).
