Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler
Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

I think I have heard the term "small wars" before.

In fact, I think the US would probably have won the Vietnam War had she been able to satisfy her manpower needs without a draft.

It is probably above what most here can handle- not silly trash.
A couple of us here use it.

If the perspective I advanced in the OP holds true, then the new generation will turn out to be a more conservative one. By "conservative" here I mean as in to say less idealistic, less politically inclined, and more survival-oriented. Of course, each generation has its own distinctions: being essentially survival-oriented appears to mean something different for today's younger people than it might have a generation or two or three ago. Where say in the 1950s it typically meant pursuing a safe, stable union job, being as those safe, stable union jobs no longer exist today, it now instead means being hyper-competitive and entrepeneurial. The specifics of course will be interesting to see as they begin to reach adulthood.Chloe wrote:
I’d be curious how this ends up with kids now, especially considering all people born between 2001 to today have only known the country to be in an endless war on “terror”.
The impact of war was more strongly felt in the 2000s than today, being as we withdrew more than 90% of our troops from the fields of battle over the course of the Obama tenure, but at the same time, the Recession hit, which really impacted more people directly. But looking ahead today, with (more or less) stable economic conditions and concerns about war so far removed from the average American's list of concerns, it's no wonder the surveys of younger people today indicate a growing optimism about the future. That is the logical trajectory of a more conservative generation: growing up in harsh times and maturing into better conditions.
