Since the War in Iraq received so much coverage when the troops first went into Iraq, people don't really seem concerned about what is going on now. Most people just want to know when the troops are going to be coming back home. Many troops risked their lives to fight for us and we as Americans don't seem to appreciated it. A couple of months ago when troops were suppose to come back home from their tour, their tour was extended and they where the last to know. Troops come back home with their jobs gone and having no where to live. All of these things affect people's choice on whether or not they should sign up for the army, marines, navy, etc.
Most people wonder why younger people are not interest in more important issues like the war in Iraq and politics. The reason being is because it doesn't interested us. Giving the option on watching a story about a famous entertainer or watching something on Iraq, they would easily choose watching something on an entertainer. Even though it might not be right to not really be concerned with the war in Iraq and politics seeing how badly troops are treated when they come back to America why risk going through the same thing. With President Bush lying about why troops were sent to Iraq in the first place who is there to tell us the truth. If people don't care about our troops now what major event will take place for us to care later?
