If this guy is waiting for the Boomers to become a Great Generation, he is in for one hell of a disappointment. Like their counterparts in previous generational cycles of history, the Boomers will be spoiled brats until the last one of them is cold as clay. And the subsequent three generations will be paying for the debt they racked up during their party.
Our next example of the "Great Generation" (Hero archetype) is currently 0 to 20 years old (most of the men (and women) in Afghanistan and Iraq are either the older members of Gen-Y or younger members of Gen-X).
Since this Islamic War Against Civilization will probably continue for at least twenty more years, it is likely that this entire younger generation will be personally affected by it. If the nation survives, these Heroes will repeat the rebuilding process the world experienced in the 1950's.
Unfortunately, these Heroes will give birth to the next cycle of Boomer-type kids. If we teach them well, hopefully they will keep their boots regularly implanted in their kids' behinds to avoid a repeat of this century's disasterous liberal policies.
I thought Gen-Y which would be those who are 8 - 23 (or 28 depending on the definition) years old right now are the next "Great Generation"

I don't think it will last that long, Iraq and Afghanistan will stabilize and be shinning examples, The Baby Boom generation (those born from 1979 - ~1990) of Iran are actually a great generation who unlike our baby boomers will bring positive change. That doesn't mean there won't be trying times ahead but assuming Kerry doesn't get in (Then all bets are off) you are going to see great changes in the middle east in the next couple of years. But yes Gen-X and Y will be and are effected greatly.

I'm not sure Gen-Z with be like the baby boomers because they will be living through the Social Security "Crisis" so they will be more like the Silents, Their kids may be the next Baby Boomers but I doubt they will be as bad. The Baby Boomers who control the media and academia right now maybe patting themselves on the back on what a wonderful, great generation they are but once they are gone history isn't going to be kind to them and I don't think any future generation would want to or be allowed to emulate them.
