Society has been going to hell in a handbasket because the younger generation is (lazy, stupid, disrespectful, ignorant, wanton, lustful, unmotivated, etc...) since Plato's time. I think it's B.S. The people in the 20'S are the ones that we've asked to fight two expensive, difficult ground wars for us in a decade, and they've stepped up. I trust that generation (I'm a mid-40's Xer) more than I trust the Boomers or my own, as we're the ones that have racked up a 13 Trillion dollar debt. We're now leaving it to the twentysomethings to pay off. Dear Twenty-somethings: On behalf of my "older and wiser" generation, I apologize. Sorry we wrecked the economy and spent so much of our nation's wealth on crap that we can't even afford to hire teachers any more.

Oh, please. Proportionally, that's nowhere near the number of young people sent to Vietnam, much less WWII. The expense of those wars is again, nowhere near the expense of Vietnam, much less WWII. The casualty rates are at least an order of magnitude lower than Vietnam, which themselves were lower than WWII.
