  11. Reflection: respond in writing • During World War II, Roosevelt asked Americans to track battles on a map. A survey conducted in 2002 found that only 17% of 18-24 year old Americans could find Afghanistan on a map. What, if anything, do you think this tells us about the different eras? • Should America ever go to a war for which a majority of Americans aren’t willing to make a significant sacrifice? Should the government / President be required to “sell” the public on the necessity of a war? • During World War II, the government aroused the public’s emotional ties to the war effort, resulting in a sense of shared effort. Can we spur personal investment without sparking irrational fears and hatred?
