This attitude makes it easy to distance ourselves from war, and that distance somehow allows us to rationalize and absolve ourselves of our responsibility/ involvement--however minor--in the war effort. He argues that war not only happens "over there" but "over here" also. By being consumers, we are, in essence, funding the war. No matter how far we percieve war to be, it is actually closer to us than we think--we're involved with the war on a day-to-day basis, as we go about opening our fridges and watching our war movies.
