Agree about the “generation” comment but the performance and sacrifices of our military over the last 30 plus years has been impressive and I believe compare well with the best in our history.

Having led some of them into the storm, I can agree.

This is just MHO, but I believe the difference between now and then is that we don't tell, share and cherish the stories of valor by this generation, while the stories of the previous generations were rightly cherished.
Just looking at movies, there were scores of movies produced during WWII, and then a steady stream for decades after, detailing events, battles, stories of heroism, etc.
There's barely a trickle today.
