Could be what's wrong with younger generations today. No mentoring. Before the fall of the mechanical age, (thanks outsourcing) where young men took real jobs that you learned from a mentor, mechanic, welder, other actual trades, men would learn to be men from men. Now, God help us, we've got retarded celebrities teaching kids how to be men.
Especially generation X where more than half of it's kids grew up without a father figure, or father. |

I like it because it shows how I was taught.
Coaches who were combat vets and drove us until we thought we couldn't take another step in football and wrestling. Teachers who had just come back from Korea and did after school counseling of wayward kids. NCOs who took me under their wing and demonstrated what moral courage really is both in and out of combat. University Professors who had survived Stalag 12 or had made it through the Chosin Reservoir. Political correctness has devastated the teaching of life lessons that really count. |
