re: Why are people so sensitive these days?

Right because we didn't witness planes hitting the world trade center and fear more attacks would come. Or fight in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, etc

Well for one, I was very young on 9/11. Although I remember it and it did scare me, it didn't impact me or my generation in the way I'm sure it impacted yours. You were probably thinking "holy frick, I have a flight next week." or "Wow, what if myself or a family member is in the next attack they execute."

As for the wars in the Middle East, they are not normal wars. The enemy is not bombarding us every day and although soldiers are dying, it is not happening as much as it was happening in a war like WWII or even Vietnam. The wars in the Middle East have been going on for years and years. People have become desensitized to it.
