Why do so many Americans support war? How do they justify it to themselves? I really don't understand it.

You can thank the Republican party for that.

Any opposition is immediately met with "YOU DON'T SUPPORT THE TROOPS?!" and there are all sorts of fallacies and bullshit to keep dissenters inline.

Fighting for freedom is a battle fought against DC, not some Islamastan.

So... you don't support the troops? Reported for treason.

It's mostly just so they can feel patriotic about SOMETHING.

The Republicans were historically antiwar; did they not change to become more populist? Who changed first - society or politicians?

Agreed! I support the troops. That's why I want them back home, defending our country!

Many Islamic countries practise horrible atrocities within their countries. The way to change this is not invade them and commit horrile atrocities, but to be an example.
A nation that renounces offensive war. A nation that trades freely with the rest of the world. A nation of liberty.

That's not even trolling, that's the truth. We are not more free or even safe because of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, or Yemen. We are less free and more at risk of terrorist attacks - not just Western civilians, but civilians in the occupied countries.
Bring the troops home! Repeal the Patriot Act!

Because all western governments look to the USA for example and guidance. It is near impossible to contradict the USA.

A common response to that one is some bullshit about them doing what they had signed up for, and then something about "fight them over there so we don't have to fight them at home"

Funny how they are cool with troops signing up to have themselves killed, but not with recreational drug use etc.
It's fighting them over there that causes us to have to fight them over here... 9/11 was in response to US military operations in the Middle East
