[QUOTE="Croak, post: 388580, member: 2367"] I can accept some of what you posted. I think you are right, Neal didn't think about what he was tweeting. He seems to be a sincere young man. Apparently someone talked to him because he quit tweeting, so there is some substance to what I originally posted. However, I was too harsh on the kid. As for generational differences, I still think there is a large cultural difference between this generation and "the greatest generation" also known as "the silents". I know it's only a name given by a writer. It's probably not the greatest generation that ever lived. That would be hard to compare. But still there is something there.Yes, there are those who work hard in every generation. So this is valid as well. Here is an article that details some of the sociological differences between generations. [url]http://www.amanet.org/training/articles/Leading-the-Four-Generations-at-Work.aspx[/url] How can I say this the right way? I don't think an appeal to a volunteer army is a valid representation of this generation. While those who are willing to sacrifice can be respected, I question the original motivation of many in today's volunteer army. How many of them joined so they could get a free ride in college? How many of them joined because there was nothing else they knew how to do? Mind you, I don't discourage them from the military, because I've seen it really shape and turn around some lives. But the crux lies in motive to see what I'm talking about. Most of the silents were anxious to enlist because of a moral imperative. It was embarassing to be "left behind". Today is not like that. Yes there are those who enlist today due to a moral imperative, but it's still not quite the same. Does that make sense? [/QUOTE]
