I don't think WW2 and the "wars" of the last 20 years are a fair comparison.

The recent wars are highly controversial and this is clearly recognised and protested by people working in SV.

The outcome of wars determines how protests are seen. Do you think there were no large protests against attacking the Nazis in WWII ? Anti-war people are anti-war. They have as little concept of just wars versus unjust wars as the people they accuse of warmongery.

Thanks for calling this out.

There was fierce opposition to getting involved in all the wars that we now look back on as "just" - WW2 is the best example.
