Past world wars required more than active service members. A potential war with China and/or Russia would probably require all hands on deck, and..

The only good aspect of those folks is the fact that they generally don't breed very much. They're either flat-out gay or so cuckishly effeminate that women have no urge to procreate with them.

On another note, this is also why all the Kebabs are being let into Europe. The natives don't breed. By 2060 the population of Germany is slated to decrease by 15 million people. Some people will be like "that's good, it's overpopulated." Well, these same idiots obviously have no clue how economies and subsistence work. Kaiser Merkel (and others) knows that her country can't survive with such rapid population loss.

I know... ranting about a generation is so lazy. It's not nearly as mentally refreshing as talking about "white privilege" whenever something does not go your way.

You mean like when the judge gives you 25 years for rape instead of 6 months? 07-coffee3

By your own words in another thread, that has more to do with wealth than white.

A black Hollywood star vs. white trash no-name guy in a similar criminal case... Who would you say gets the slap on the wrist?

RE: Generation Snowflake
I can say that of the 6 young people I hired over the past 12 months....4 were useless as employees in a manufacturing setting. They had zero idea about what "Work" is all about. Needless to say...I sent them on their way.

This trend has been more and more prevalent over the past decade. 30 years ago..when I started in mgmt...I rarely had this problem. Now it is the norm..not the exception. I go through a constant battle to find people that understand that you must get to work on time and when there?...be at your job...and be productive. They are more concerned with their cell phones than their jobs.

Probably not. Judge identified with the swimmer. Whether it was because he was white or wealthy or a swimmer (all three are privilege), not sure but the judge would not have identified with either of your examples.

The white kid also owned a tie. Privilege.

They wouldn't because politics have brought them to their knees with regards to engagement. Has nothing to do with their weight or work ethic. People with no work ethic generally don't join the military. If they do, the culture changes them pretty quickly.

Has quite a bit to do with it actually. I work directly with them every day.

Fat and undisciplined. Do you know they now get a four-day weekend every single month? What other job offers something like that? Not all of them, or even most....but way too many are fat and/or undisciplined. Half of them look like sh!t in their uniforms and are a disgrace to those who have worn it in the past. Honestly....working in a joint environment with our NATO allies.....we are the fattest military of the bunch.

I have no doubt, but I imagine that has to do more with the administrative, IT, and logistics type support troops. I believe standards are still well maintained for infantry and they certainly are for special forces. Also, most of them either spend 6-months at a time deployed and away from their families or at some point have or will have to in the future. I really have have no problem with them having a 4-day weekend every month when they are home. I live in a heavy military area and really have not seen the evidence that they have been infiltrated by the special snowflakes of their generation. I have a lot of friends that are officers and they haven't voiced any complaints either. There are certainly exceptions, but I haven't seen an overarching culture rot there. Maybe it just depends on the command and you work with a failing one.

No, because there aren't too many active duty military that live in their parents' basement because they don't make enough money to pay for what they feel entitled to.
