I'm beginning to think the military channel is a fake to some extent.
I am a veteran and when we went on patrol or on alert we had every asset of support available to us 24/7 weather not being a factor in if we got help or not.

First, thanks for your service to our country. It's people like you who helped build our country and make it what it is today. Sadly our good name is being destroyed as we type away
You are on the right track with suspecting the military channel is fake. Do a little searching to see who the channel is affiliated with which will lead to discovering who its owned by. At that point with more digging you might see how it benefits the top of the chain to win the propaganda war and get paid. This isn't conspiracy theory stuff just a way to get your own info and draw your own picture of what it looks like behind the curtains.
As far as soldiers running from a fight and being home before dark that is just a result of following orders. Any of the guys I know who have been to the mid-easts various theatre's of war would prefer to ignore higher ups and just get the job done, they are tough as carbide. On the flip side a couple of the toughest marines I know (now home for good) who come from military families and vote republican say "what is the fu<¥Ing point?" "Nothing to win and its not making Americans safer".
If we put half our "defense budget" into programs that work we would be getting somewhere.
