    Perhaps they will be labeled the "Entitlement Generation" although I hate those generation labels. There are some squared away kids out there, the question is are there enough of them for the upcoming fights?

    You'd be surprised, Para-327th. The masses of my generation is exactly as you guys state, "entitled" to shit. However, when we look at special operations units, and the history of elite warriors... they attract the few people scattered throughout society who have some sort of a deeper inner calling that they feel needs to be fulfilled. I believe, that this calling, still resides in a sea of bullshit that we see littering the military and civilians.

    I'm an IT at an Intel command and the lack of motivation is absolutely astonishing, and mutually sickening. I can't wait to get the fuck out of here and into some long-awaited goals.
    Never quit.

    I see one problem with this post. Your signature. That damn word is still in your lexicon. Mission objective. That is your tunnel vision. What the fuck is quit? That word should never be mentioned or even thought of.
