If the average person ins't suffering from the war then the average person doesn't care.
With Iraq and Afghanistan only a very small number of people and their families have actually sacrificed anything to fight this war. Somehow people think if they have bumper sticker or they like a picture on Facebook that they are doing their part, but in reality most people's lives have gone on without interruption and because of that the war has dragged on and on.
If they started a draft to fight these wars there would be protests all across the country just like there were during the Vietnam era and just about any politician who wasn't actively trying to find a way to end the war would be voted out, but those things aren't happening so it it all out of sight and out of mind.
