Well, they believe that they are the world police.
the orgs themselves don't. really. they don't want those missions.
presidents with wild ideas and congress, on the other hand, have been known to push the mil in that direction.
but look at the doctrine and history, the military does not want that mission. the US barely participates in UN & NATO peacekeeping deployments. we prefer 'enemy here, bomb them' kind of clear cut objectives.
Of course you don't participate in peacekeeping missions. You guys don't want peace. You quite obviously want war.
