generation who took on the problems of their parents and changed the world on the brink. No other generation since has been asked to sacrifice as much and that is a result of what that generation did.
Does that mean these subsequent generations are bad or worthless? Absolutely not. Just that they haven't been required to sacrifice as a generation since then.
Doesn't mean that boomers, x-ers or mellinials are worse than each prior. They just don't have the unifying enemy and therefore their generations diffuse their good efforts among his thousands of causes. Some don't do anything to better the world on a bigger plane but such is true of all generations.
Let's move forward by doing what we can and not whinin about other generations.
