"I still remember watching him on TV telling us to go on about our normal daily lives and let the military handle it. I could only shake my head." Welcome to the problem of "normalacy" in the middle of a long war. By the time WW 2 ended, the American people were sick of the war; they wanted a return to normalacy. Vietnam was remarkable for it's length and the public acceptance of that length. Here we have a war with extreamly low causalties relative to other wars. The US suffered about 81,000 total for the Battle of the Bulge. The current military is volunteer; there is no impact on anyone who doesn not want an impasct on their life. Course, if the Jihadists win, there will be an impact sooner or later. The Jihadists have our number, the west as a whole does not want to fight. We're a nation of pussywhipped metrosexuals.
