Yes, but a) not everyone in that generation ran off to sign up and b) not everyone in the military is actually a great person, either overall or in details like “I’m still voting Dem”.
Truth is every generation has had people willingly sign up to go to the military and war in hard times. Gen X did it as well as Gen Y, and Boomers. Silent as well as so-called “Greatest” (really, just “GI” gen) - they did so willingly in the draft (never mind all the women who signed up; no draft), not burning cards like Hippies.
So, really, you can’t judge a generation by military service, per se.
Any soldier who chooses to vote for Obama has earned the right to do so, without being second-guessed by anyone.
So, really, you can’t judge a generation by military service, per se.
No, but you cannot condemn an entire generation either. Which is the thrust of this article.
