Since we have sent so many to defend against athiestic and secular dictator despots, what religious affiliation has sent more to combat and die for others to have the right say what they want and rail against the same religion that defends their rights? We have fought wars against Communists, Marxists, Socialists, dictators, and despots. Is it the Christians?

"We have fought wars against Communists, Marxists, Socialists, dictators, and despots..." Erm... When exactly did we do any of this that did anyone any good? The only times we fought against communists in wars were in Korea and Vietnam. Our presence in both wars only assured more deaths, both of our troops, and of others, no one's rights were protected and no one benefited from our presence.
There are a few other countries in which we had a hand in fighting communists, like in Afghanistan, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Guatemala, but in these cases, we funded terrorists (including Osama) that weren't Americans themselves to fight secular rule.

It can't be the Christians. These interventions largely violate the Christian "just war" doctrine. It would be unconscionable for a Christian to participate in this based on that. So it couldn't possibly be the Christians.

Hopefully, you are aware that the individual troop who fights, and sometimes gives his/her life may not be affiliated with religion of any kind.

Its not really about religion, its when the military complex is big enough or suffering enough that we need to go to war to keep these companies running.

Dude, religious affiliations don't send people into combat.
I read your question. My answer still stands.

Definitely not the Jehovah's Witnesses.
They do not fight in any country worldwide.

Are you counting illegal wars and wars you started?
