I think you're onto something there. We've come to think of war — endless war — as a normal part of life in the US. Even our actual wars are now the War on Terror, not the war in Afghanistan or Iraq. We may defeat one enemy (or more likely declare victory and ditch), but there's no expectation that we'll defeat Terror, or Obesity, or Hate.
