Typical we are more comfortable with military tech being used far away in war zones than we are with it being used at home against US civilians. The presidents choosing not to formally declare war doesn’t change the layman view of our middle eastern combat activities.

And drone usage is going to make it even worse. People isn't exposed anymore to the effects of being at war, so that the stronger side has no incentive to stop fighting. In the past people hated the war because of the high risk that loved ones could return in a coffin; nowadays only the enemies die, and at a convenient distance, so brainwashed masses don't develop hostility to the war but rather keep hating an enemy they have never met just because the TV says so. That's the first step to an endless state of war which is the best customer the weapon industry could dream about.
