Let's be clear, Millennials and younger in this country have lived most, if not all of their lives where they have born witness to conflict in the middle east with the US involved and seeing the devastating effects on not just the innocents in the region, but our friends and family. I was having a discussion with an Army MI officer I know who was an officer in the battlefield planning during the invasion of Iraq. We had a discussion about age and I put it into context for him, telling him that the young PFCs and SPCs that he was making those plans for were my classmates.

The 40 and younger crowd in this country is just absolutely exhausted when it comes to war.

I want the violence to end too. One thing to note with the younger generations, like college kids and younger, they weren't around when 9-11 occurred. And Jihadist groups such as Hamas who wants Israel and the U.S. destroyed, aren't probably perceived the same way as many of the rest of us who have deeper feelings towards those kind of groups, per say.
