While we DO see young men and women in the trenches today, serving loyally and selflessly, their numbers are a drop in the bucket compared to those who wouldn't bother and only look out for self. They are referred to as the "entitlement generation". Later they would be referred to as the "boomerang generation", because even holding down a job and being independent is becoming too much to ask for, and their ranks return home to live off of mom and dad.
I'm not in any way defending the "Occupy idiots", just the rest of an entire generation that seems to be getting lumped in. Seems kinda easy to point at few morons in an age group and say "They're all like this!". I bet there's more good kids out there than you think.
