So what, I should give up on trying to improve things like the boomers have done? Just take mine and forget about the rest?

And where are the protests? The last anti-war protest I recall seeing over Iraq/Afghanistan was populated by a bunch of people in their 40s, 50s and 60s sporting placards like "Peace is Patriotic." Is the younger generation leaving it to their parents to protest, or do they just not care?

Maybe it's where you live? Where I'm at we have plenty of protests, lots of gatherings and plenty of art shows regarding wars. They may not be all over the media, but they're here.

Ant debate that begins with an oped piece by Ted Nugent, should be taken with a grain of salt. It would be hard to argue he is not an extremist and an agitator.

I doubt that if the millennials got around to voicing their political opinion, Ted would like it very much, anyhow.

I've wondered why the millenials living with their moms haven't organized to protest their economic situations.

The answer may be the great modern male pacifier - online porn.

Occupy Wall Street? It was seen as a legitimate theat and swiftly taken down by the FBI/LE

There's also no time or money to protest. If you have 2 jobs like most people do, you're always busy keeping yourself alive. There's no time to spend days and weeks protesting, which would require cash. I think this is the major reason it doesn't happen. That, and everybody sees what happened at Ferguson.

If there was a draft they'd care. And if, in this era, the Federal Government was drafting females all hell would brake loose.
