"Young adults born in the 1980s and early 1990s leaped out of nicotine- and alcohol-free wombs to be deemed geniuses every time they passed a test, awarded trophies every time they caught a ball and tucked into comfy car seats on the victory ride over to their favorite sushi palace. They took groovy public-service internships at an age when their grandfathers were sweating on assembly lines or being shot at by Nazis, lived with their parents until they were 28, then proceeded directly to their shrinks for marathon weeping sessions every time they messed up a project at work. They’re as soft as pudding, and they know it. The Greatest Generation didn’t need triathlons or X-treme skateboarding; every Friday night was a thrill ride after manual labor and eight Schlitzes.
From film critic Kyle Smith writing in the New York Post on August 12 and featured in today’s Political Diary.
Two in a thousand decided that they wanted to be the protectors, not the protected. They got on the bus to Quantico or Lackland or Benning with their IPods in their ears and their pants two inches too long. They were transformed from teenagers who wouldn’t get out of bed before 11 on a Saturday or share a chocolate bar with their little brother into young men and women who have their gear in shape before the sun rises and would share the last scrap of food they have with their buddy. We lost thirty of the finest in a helicopter over Afghanistan two weekends ago. They stand watch in places most Americans — of all generations — can’t even find on a map without help from Google. I thank God for them every day. Tell me, how many mess halls has the film critic for the New York Post visited, anyhow?
From Heather Wilson, candidate for U.S. Senate and mother of two 1990s geniuses who do like sushi from Costco and are expected to do their best every day and be decent, hardworking citizens of a country we love very much.
Indeed, thank God for them."

In my day to day life, I see both of the people described above. We just witnessed many from all age groups working to rescue trapped people in the stage crash in Indianapolis. While some people I know have the top issue with their kids.
