They'll just declare "safe spaces"

Isn't the average age of enlisted personnel around 21 years old?

Couldn't do any worse than the Baby Boomers did at fighting wars.

I'm not dissing all college-age people. But I am greatly concerned about this. I have three kids, the oldest about to graduate college. So I see some of this shite every day.
Many millenials, like some on this board, instead of answering the question they just blame preceding generations for creating the problems. What will they (you) do when confronted with the darkness of such a decision as whether to go to war? I see nothing in this generation, or in my own children, to suggest they are capable of waging war. Most of them don't even know or understand history. And in that we are doomed.

I guess we have your generation to thank for running up our national debt and then selling that debt to some of our largest economic and military rivals. Congrats on putting future generations in such a great position for success.
which generation voted for those that did all that? that's the more important question.

Do you think your generation is smarter than this generation?

Kids in college now won't wage the wars of today. They'll fight them for those that do.
College kids of today will wage the wars of tomorrow. And btw, college kids today are no different than kids in college in the 60's. College aged boomers invented that "pussy" attitude with regards to war. FWIW.

Certainly not smarter.
My generation (the one right ahead of yours) is nothing special, but we were much less needy than yours. Personally I stand in awe of the WWII generation. We will never see one like that again.

Exactly right. This point isn't brought up enough when these generational disputes pop up. There's a reason half the threads started on this board are about some goofy SJW shite. They are in the minority. By a lot. I honestly don't know one person my age that would identify as an "SJW." You just hear more about the social justice, PC idiots because they tend to be louder than the rest of us. The cool kids are still winning.

But they´re OK with domestic tyrants, in your opinion?

0'fer? Check your history, junior. The US inflicted one of the most lopsided military defeats in history on North Vietnam. When the last of our forces pulled out in 73, the war was won and the north signed the Paris Peace Treaty. The liberal Democrat politicians then gave back that victory when the cut off all aid to the south and stood by when the North launched a new war 2 years after the end of the Vietnam War.
The next major war was thf First Gulf War. This was my generations war and I'm proud to have served. We kicked the ever living shite out of one of the biggest, most battle hardened armies in the world and it wasn't even close. We could have gone as far north as we wanted but once again the politicians stepped in.

Hopefully the draft will be abolished so nobody will be forced to go into service if they don't want to. That's the most communist piece of legislation we have in this country.
And yet it has been employed since the war of independence. Conscription serves a purpose and has no relationship to communism, in my opinion.

College white guilt < war...
Seriously though, it'll work itself out in a serious war like situation. The hipster, SJW, will get a reality check and fall back in line. The normal man will step up and hipsters and SJWs will continue to be pussies.

Yes, the future will be fine. And I am dead serious. They asked this same question before the current conflicts, and likely before all of the preceding conflicts.
