Nah, they just are anti Iraq War, but even then that's because that turned into (from their perspective) a complete quagmire that America hasn't won. They of course ignore the harm Iraq has suffered to come to this conclusion. Any future war, thought, yeah, they'd probably be all over it. When the Iraq War started, though, those same people where more than likely all for it.
Alex Jones no longer has any staunch positions except for "no gun control." He'd talk himself into supporting anything else the next fascist decides to do.
I'm not super well versed in current right wing psychology but I think it's because those types consider themselves paleoconservatives, especially the ones who lean into pseudo-intellectualism. They at least use the name as a dogwhistle for fascism, I remember in one of the subreddits that got banned with chapo they were openly discussing how as fascists they could tell other people they were paleoconservatives as a cover. I guess once you buy into that identity you somehow end up being anti war, to own the (((neocons))).
Ehhh, every conservative that I know who liked trump because they thought that hillary would a new war in the middle east were practically begging for a war in Iran after they bombed Soleimani. Their anti-war stances, like most of their stances, are entirely dependent on whether it's their guy's war or the other guy's war
