Am I Anti-American?

According to Jensen's article, people who argue for peace are considered "anti-american" or "un-american".

This is weird to me because I think, as an American, you are supposed to want to protect your fellow citizens, not ship them out to foreign countries to be killed.

What's the point of war? It's been going on for how long now? And we're still fighting? It seems to me that this war isn't really working, maybe it's time to try peace.

And I don't see how this idea of peace is "anti-american" because I think people who want peace are looking for the same end result as the people who are pro-war, they just wanna achieve this in a less violent way and in a way that makes things easier for the whole world, not just America.
So I guess people who are anti-war are un-patriotic only in the sense that they are looking out for the world as a whole, not just one country.
