The most powerful nation on the earth, the United States, has been entrenched in a war in the Middle East for the past fifteen years. This political cartoon is meant to criticize the attitudes towards troops heading off to war through the use of juxtaposition, and the polar diction of both the family and the soldier. In this cartoon a soldier is depicted, heading off to war, unable to recall what tour of duty he is going on. His family is watching television, and preoccupied with other things to notice the gravity of what is happening. The juxtaposition in the tone and emotion of the people depicted in this political cartoon shows the issue that soldiers going off to as well as coming home from war face. This is meant to raise awareness for the troops of the U.S.
