Well, first off, we're not bombing North Korea. And while your list is both true and odious, they were largely devoid of involvement by our military. The blame lies much more in Foggy Bottom, Langley, and the Oval Office than it does the Pentagon.
And while as a veteran agree that we aren't often defending ourselves in our foreign (mid) adventures, having troops stationed in foreign countries is a form of defending our country, because 1) we want to fight wars on soil other than our own, and 2) supporting our alliances is a form of defense.
As I said, there are many military policies and operations I was and am against. But I wouldn't disrespect the service performed by my brothers and sisters in uniform.
