>my little brother has lived his entire life with his nation engaged in some far off "war" that consists of carpet bombing an entire region - and yet here (in the US) there is absolutely no antiwar movement
It's very weird to me that a society that currently has, for example, a huge anti-gun movement, based on ideas like "every child deserves to grow up in a safe community", would at the same time treat the deaths of 10,000 people as a rounding error. But that's literally how we are.

But to your point, yes it is very weird. War has become so normal that even your father in law or whatever will make excuses for the Iraq War - even though we know now that it was started on false premises.
