People born after 1980 (Millennials and Gen Z) are significantly more pessimistic about foreign policy than older generations, largely because they did not experience the sacrifices of major military conflicts like the Iraq War, Afghanistan War, and War on Terror, which were primarily borne by those born before 1980; this generational difference has led to a marked shift in attitudes toward nation-building, overseas wars, and even changed perspectives on Israel.

Am I being too pessimistic? Am I not being pessimistic enough? Like, explain this.
>> well, I've never heard you not be pessimistic enough, so there's the start. But, I >> That's fair. That's fair.
Salty Gurdusky, go ahead.
>> But, but I think that I'm Republicans in large are in very favor of of of Trump and of the Iran war. That number is slipping and especially slipping with people voters under the age of 49. If you think of the entire lineage of the Iraq war, Afghanistan war, the war on terror, people before 1980 have born much of the sacrifice of every one of those conflicts. So, people born after 1980 are very, very, very pessimistic when it comes to foreign policy. They do not want nation-building. They do not want wars overseas. And they've also had a change of heart around the subject of Israel.
