Generation X will go down as the greatest generation in American history. We have won three wars without breaking a sweat. We are the most entreprenurial generation ever and apparently each one of us will be supporting three overindulgent boomers in their diaper years.
This article speaks to that generation's self absorbed narcissm.

You people are generalizing and stereotyping just as much as the "author" here is.
Yes, some Boomers ended up being druggies, hippies, and liberals. The press loved them and they got lots of attention.
Others quietly went about the business of growing up and becoming responsible. They went off to Vietnam when their country asked them to, because they thought it was the right thing to do. When they came back, they were reviled as druggies, baby killers, and war criminals by Kerry and Clinton type Boomers and some of the WWII generation.
Undaunted, they went back to college or got jobs, started businesses, and raised families.
President Bush is one of the responsible Boomers. Kerry & Clinton were and are the kind you revile.
Perhaps your parents are also the hippie-type boomer?

Speaking as a member of the last wave of boomers (born 1959), I have to confess, I used to think this way.
Then I grew up.

Yes we are very proud of the men and women who served our county with such honor and bravery .. we will be forever grateful to them all
But like the 60's .. This generation has a few lazy doped up idiots who are living off their parents money because they are would rather complain about how unfair life is than to go get a dang job .. they were called hippies back then .. I'm not sure what they are called today
Bottom line .. Every generation has it's good ones and it's bad ones

Disagree. I should let you know that I'm a member of Generation X. Wars don't define a generation.
