that’s a hard earned accomplishment but it still doesn’t mean you’re the only one in your age group who has any work ethic.

Not too often you hear someone using their Army infantry creds as proof of being above average . I guess you could be a Marine...but you chose Stryker for your name.

You don't have to be a vet to be an above average millennial. The bar has been set pretty low.

Afghanistan and Iraq were fought by 20 somethings, by and large, as was Vietnam, Korea, and the Big One, you find quotes by ancient Roman sages decrying the state of their younger generation’s, this generation is no different than any other.
