None of us could. Stupid question.

People born past 1970 couldn't have. It's only gotten worse since then.

Nah, we’re the snowflakes.

I am a old fart at 63, and I say absolutely, and as was shown after 9/11 there would be no shortage of those willing to do it.

Not even close. NO.

Well judging how the top thread on the OT is about Wrasslin I think I'll file any and all deductions by my follow TD comrades regarding this generations WWII serviceability as virtually irrelevant.

I think if confronted with an existential war, the generation you’re talking about would grow up pretty quickly. Because they’d have to.

Think how bad the German Millennial generation would be facing them?
The Jap kids of today would kick our arse...

Wait... how old are you?
You might want to consider that the majority of our fighting men and women are 18-20 year old somethings... many of them minorities, some Muslims, not all US citizens. If you're going to bash this generation, please tell me you aren't a Deferment Donald devotee.

I'll admit many accommodations do help kids with disabilities learn better.
I'll also agree that kids are softer now.
It's media's fault. Parents think the world is more dangerous now because you hear about everything. Back when you only read the news and watched ay 7 or 5, you didn't have constant fear.
There were predators then.
It was dangerous then. We let kids be kids.
Now you have carpools because we can't trust kids to walk a block. Safe spaces because people are mean. It's why so many like the current leader. It's a big FU to the pussification.

I'm around fresh boot camp grads in the Navy every day and I'm here to tell you that they absolutely could not.

Very few could unless it was on a video screen.
Posted on 12/5/17 at 8:58 pm to dietcoke7
Surely you jest? These snowflakes would be speaking German and Japanese with a quickness.

Exactly.
To Everybody Saying This Generation Wouldn't Fight

While patriotism has always driven young people to service, it was almost always matched with a desire for college money or new opportunities. Suddenly, they weren’t asking about money, she said.

“It was all about the patriotism,” Depenbrock said. “They didn’t care about anything else. Money had nothing do with it. I swear, I think half those kids would have joined if we hadn’t paid them.”

An annual Pentagon survey of young people’s propensity to join the military showed an 8-percent increase among young men likely to enlist immediately after 9/11, and remained high until 2005, a Defense Department official said.
Don't sit here and tell me that Americans aren't willing to fight.

One nice gluten bomb would wipe out 50% of them. Drop some peanuts to finish em off.

Judging the kids that I've seen coming out of high school, no. Bunch of pansies. But, luckily for us, you don't need a 3 million man army to fight a war anymore.

As someone not that far from these generations, not just no, but HELL NO. They would probably let the communist have the country before going to war.
