I don't think people are numb to the ongoing war and the increased United States military deaths in Afghanistan, it is just that it is not getting much coverage by the media and there are none of the protests against war that happened during the Bush administration. If (just for the sake of this subject being discussed) McCain won in 2008, I think most of the media would have made a very big deal if U.S. military losses had increased on his watch. And in case you didn't know, that is what has happened since Obama has been President---we have had increased losses in Afghanistan, yet, you don't really hear much about it. On one hand the economy needs to be covered amongst other things, however, again, based on the media coverage and anti-war protests during the Bush years, there is something wrong here.
