there were many ordinary Americans who either personally were involved in the conflicts that arose from containment or who had family that was personally involved.  We must remember that during these decades, the two major wars of containment, Korea, and Vietnam, occurred.  These wars touched the lives of many Americans who served in them or who had family who served in them.

the answer is b.2008 and 2012 were presidential election years.
