Totally agree bro. We are much softer today than before. My grandparents were the greatest generation. My dad by time he was 22 has 3 tours in Vietnam under his belt. Unreal.
That said- I was in San Diego on Coronado Island with my family over the summer and watching the seals train, our best run that beach, visiting the Midway, etc… I still believe. My youngest son looked at me and said “daddy, are these the guys that protect freedom”… God damn right son, god bless.
