The last few decades are the most memorable (and frustrating, since I think we really should know better by now), but I think one could argue that we’ve had pretty much the same attitude towards war throughout recorded history.

That's fair.

The only real opposition the US has ever seen to war was in the 60's, when the media was portraying our wars as they actually are and kids were being forced to decide between fighting those wars or serving jail time.

Almost makes you wish the draft would make a comeback. At least that way the average American wouldn't be able to hide from the effects of our foreign policy.
