Poor education has done its intent, brainwashing not only on kids but adults as well. Thank our government and media for this disaster.
I'm a big fan of questioning those in authority. Unfortunately, millennials only want to question those they don't agree with.
The lack of understanding of history is a big problem IMO. That includes using current morality in viewing historical events.
Here's how bad it is: I was talking with a 20ish coworker the other day about the new Mission Impossible movie (I haven't seen it yet). I mentioned that I grew up watching the TV series religiously every week, it was one of my favorites.
He gave me a stunned look, and blurted "it was a TV series?" No wonder Hollywood gets away with rebooting everything good from the 60s and 70s...lol.
Another young man and I were talking about the bitcoin market. I said, I'd love to invest in it, but I lost all my money in the Dutch Tulip craze (400 years ago). He had no idea what I was talking about. Yes, history does repeat itself, over and over and over...
Crap, I'm so old my battalion in Germany was deactivated some 25 years ago.
