Post WWII most wars are far away and typically do not have a direct collective effect on the general population at home. Unlike WWII where the effect and consequence was very clear.
Modern wars seem routine and typically the population plays little or no direct role. Modern media allows war to be something seen on TV or a routine like the rest of the nightly talking head. As a result people either feel apathy and others see the war on the TV or on YouTube and its vicarious entertainment something to see from a safe vantage point.
