Our generational cohort's war was Desert Storm. That wasn't so bad. In any event, I missed it despite my military service. The war i spent my adult working life fighting against the terrorists, wasn't nearly as bad as marching in the green forests of south Vietnam until your unit bumped into an ambush. Some would say it was worse...well. I don't envy the next cohort their war if the worst comes to pass. But the Boomers could have said the same about Desert Storm if the worst had come to pass.
