17-29 year olds are angry because they feel guilty. They're ashamed that thier contemporaries are the tip of the spear in Iraq and Afghanistan but they can't muster the fortitude to risk everything for their country.

That is an interesting comment. When I attend high school graduations I see a fairly large number of kids going directly into the military. I’ve seen kids turn down scholarships to join the military. Others have no concept of world events that exist outside of their bubble. Some worry about everything. Luckily that is a small group.

When I talk to my kids friends about Iraq it is barely on their radar. They rarely think about it.
