"Two presidential debates and no real mention of our troops, despite the ongoing war in Afghanistan."
I was surprised that both of the presidential debates so far had not mention anything about the troops in Afghanistan. Usually, war overseas is one of the major controversial issues today. Four years ago, it was predominantly a hot topic. Keep fighting or go home. It is one of the main reasons as to why President Obama won the Election of 2008. Now, the issue has stepped down making other moral issues take over.
"....the nation feels no real stake in or connection to the war effort. That disconnect and distance helps explain how, at this time of collapsing support for the government, the press, and other institutions, three of four Americans say they’ve maintained their confidence in the military."
