My understanding is the modern military industrial complex has decided it matters to keep US military deaths low. Deaths turn people against war. But they still are not sold on the idea that the US cares about foreign deaths, or generally wasteful military ventures.

I wish I could find the video but putin said his style of governance was to make people comfortable, and if they are comfortable you can get away with anything, but it has to be the majority that are comfortable so you can only get away with what the majority is comfortable with.
Basically he was saying, keep people just comfortable enough that they dont rebel and to min max that as best as you can.
Our acceptance of the non stop military strikes, border clashes, and violence as just a way of life so long as my Disney+ subscription remains uninterrupted is all too apparent IMO.
I cant count the times Ive said, "oh god this is going to start world war 3" and then we just go on with our lives like it never happened.
