Two Different Youths On Foreign Policy
- Younger Americans form two distinct groups with contrasting engagement in foreign affairs.
- Bill O'Reilly contrasts the "earbud generation" who tune out Iran with many volunteers who pay attention and sacrifice.
Ignorance Drives Absence Of Support

- O'Reilly notes they couldn't find Iran on a map and view a conflict 5,000 miles away as irrelevant to their daily lives.
