Here is a broad brush to help you paint your picture....  |

You know what... These old hippies can blow me. I was putting in overtime at saw mills when I was 16. Cutting wood for winter heat and spending long days on a cabless tractor way before that. College via scholarship rather than loans. I may set in an office all day, but I'll wager that I've forgotten more about hard work than a lot of baby boomers have ever known.
ETA: Who's the generation that raised all these little bitches?

And, in your estimation, what proportion of your generational peers share this same upbringing? How would you compare that percentage to previous generations? Do you, honestly, think your generation has had it harder, or is mentally tougher, than previous generations? |

Honestly, I think it has a lot to do with a population shift away from rural areas (in America at least). To be fair, it is more difficult to raise a family, afford a home, etc. on one salary. None of the guys I know who are what I would call successful have a stereotypical "millennial" attitude. |

I think there are good, decent, hard working Millenials out there, but I think the numbers of good one are far lower than other generations, with a wider difference gap than other generations. |

Considering that the so-called Millennial generation encompasses most of the enlisted personnel who fought for 10 years overseas, I'd say they're fine. |
