Today 20 year olds are serving longer tours than any other generation before them.
The other marchers couldn't get him to leave his mother's basement.
I wouldn't be too hard on the recently entering adulthood generation. In the '40's millions went to war, but there was also the small subculture who were young communist league and and socialist workers' party members as well as that being the generation that gave us Roosevelt and wailed for handouts as loud as anyone has. In the '60's, millions went to war and tens of thousands became professional protestors and carried NVA flags. In the most recent generation, the number that have gone off to combat, all volunteers, dwarfed the number of the few thousand filthy useful idiots that make up the occupy movement. Cut this recent generation some slack, all in all, I've been very proud of them.
Im sure if China attacked us, the pic on the right would be similar to the pic on the left. And OWS wouldnt be happening

I didn't realize the guys in WW 2 had tours. The only thing I could find by Googling was that they were in the field for the duration plus 6 months.

I'm continually amused by these threads. Has there ever been a generation that didn't view the generations younger than theirs as punks?
While I get your point, agree or disagree with the current wars (I tend to disagree) there is an all-volunteer force, many of whom are 20 year olds, giving everything.
Let us not forget that the fools on the left (the right side of your picture) are still only a subset of the generation.
I feel bad for the youngest generation. Their life will be filled with turmoil and strife, war and government oppression. They'll never know what the good old days were like. They'll work their whole lives to pay for someone else's retirement while being left holding the bag when they get to retire, at 85 years old. The previous generation should be ashamed.
