The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were never particularly popular (especially when they dragged on for years). It's just that the political class doesn't care about what the people want.

    Look at why it was unpopular. Everyone agreed it was bad for troops. Most believed it was a mistake to go at all, but a sizable portion believed it was the tactic that was wrong, that the war should have started and ended on the same day with nukes.
