"There may be, but is one of them sending people overseas to die, or killing people overseas because we don't like what they're doing? "

Of course, it is.

Hopefully, you don't deceive yourself that if we didn't we would a moral nation.

Well, we're going to have to agree to disagree, then. I don't think it's particularly a moral duty of this nation to send our men and women into harm's way to help improve the quality of life for people in other nations, nor do I believe it's particularly moral for our nation to rob its citizens of their property to better the quality of life for people in other nations.

It might be laudable to do so, but I don't think its our duty or our obligation.
