I do not like hearing that our young men wouldn’t make a DDay-type assault

And I strongly disagree with that assertion.
My mother and wife and I were watching the airborne invasion of Normandy scenes from Band of Brothers earlier and they said that they had no belief that our young men could or would make those assaults. Whether it’s the assaults on Utah or Omaha or the jumps behind the lines.
Our young men WOULD do it in my estimation. Not that they would necessarily have to in the 21st Century and the battlefield that is the new age of warfare. But nonetheless, our young men of fighting age would do it.
I’m sure the WWI vets thought the men going off to battle in WWII weren’t worth a damn and wouldn’t fight worth a shite as well.
I do not like people speaking about our young folks like that and said as much to my mother and wife.

Gen Z doesn’t even know what fricking gender they are. I wouldn’t trust them to go into battle even if my life depended on it.

I mean, they would try I guess. I wouldnt dare bet on today's military being successful, all weapon conditions being equal.

Make it a video game and they could.

Boys were committing suicide because they were 4F and couldn’t go fight during WWII.
Let that sink in and ask yourself that question again

Tik tok is not real life.

The ones defending the beachhead would be picking from men of similar stock, so it would likely be a push.

I agree with OP. This board is full of pussies that project their weaknesses on to everyone else.
Bunch of figs IYAM.

Are there men as hard as those tough SOBs that did D Day? Yes. Are they anywhere near as plentiful, no.

The f-22 exists, play Medal of Honor or War Thunder and get over yourself old man.

Both bout 280 and stout.
But both have all their teeth and don’t have track marks on their arms so they’re not your bag.

Lol. If you want to throw yourself into the breach for these CIA/NSA/Government military complex assholes you are welcome to.
Our country is definitely not what it was back then.
I don't want my boys to sign up for the Selective Service.

Yeah. Rifle in one hand, cell phone in the other.

They’re not anti-American nor are they idiots. They just took what the saw on social media and believed it as what would actually happen.
I served, my service stopped in 2018, USMC. Were there guys that I would be worried about serving in combat with me? Absolutely. Were the majority of them willing and able men to complete the task? Absolutely.

Why should the younger generation sacrifice their life for the older generation’s frick ups?
