I don't know why we glorify military service

Because we should glorify service to the people, and service to the state can be and sometimes is an abstract a form of that. Same reason we pay teachers in pats on the back instead of money.

We don't glorify service to the state in any other way though. We look down on public servants.

And military service is the biggest gulf between service to the people and service to the state... It doesn't help the people at all, it only serves the state

Depends on your state's situation. USA, yes. Somewhere like south korea, no

Is it, though? Or is it just servicing particular monetary interests?

Previously yes. They used to get deployed around here to help in natural emergencies. Fires, floods, landslides, stuff like that. Currently, cannot speak to whether they do.
