I guess you're right, we're lucky to live in a country where we are not in daily danger of getting shot or blown up by a land mine or starving to death. On the other hand, there is a huge opportunity cost to blowing our entire future on a war and reckless spending. It means infrastructure that needs to will not get built, investments that need to will not get made, and ultimately that affects the competitiveness of our economy, so it goes affect you. Maybe you can't see it because it is happening slowly, but the rise of China and Russia is a big thing, and it will affect the world your kids live in, if we fall behind. In my opinion, his idiotic foreign policy has also made it far more likely that there will be another terrorist attack against us. And I guess it doesn't affect me, but I sure as hell don't like to see my government killing innocent people in a pointless war that never needed to happen, or torturing people, or spying on people.
