Quote by Bob Schieffer
The Iraq war was fought by one-half of one percent of us. And unless we were part of that small group or had a relative who was, we went about our lives as usual most of the time: no draft, no new taxes, no changes. Not so for the small group who fought the war and their families.
Summary
This quote highlights the disparity in the societal impact of the Iraq war. It emphasizes that only a very small portion of the population (one-half of one percent) actively participated in the war effort, while the majority of people continued with their normal lives, unaffected by the conflict. The quote suggests that unlike those who fought in the war and their families who endured significant changes and sacrifices, the majority were not directly impacted.
