Afghanistan War Is Now More Unpopular Than Iraq War -- Danger Room

There is no “good war” anymore.

Update: Afghanistan Opinion Reaching Peak Anti-Iraq Levels -- Time

My Comment: Having the Afghan war reach this level of unpopularity is note-worthy for the simple fact that during the Iraq war the media/Democrats/academia/anti-war activists/etc. were consistent on a daily basis in their opposition to the conflict .... while in the case of today's Afghan war .... such consistent opposition is absent and/or mute at best. This is unfortunate because if this group exhibited the same intensity as they did with Iraq .... my prediction is that public opinion would have probably forced President Obama's to get out of Afghanistan a year or two ago instead of finding ourselves still mired in this hopeless conflict.
