    I completely agree, this is the best generation ever. This generation is learning how not to make the mistakes of the past. 9/11 was a wake call not a set back. Bush and company has held back this generation far more than anything else has but even that has only been a slow down in the road to this generations bright future. I'm 63 years old and I'm happy and proud to be here experiencing what's happening now. There is far more hope for this world now than there has ever been.

    First off, the generalization is what I take issue with the most. I'm certain that there are millenials that fit Brokaw's description, but when speaking of a generation as a whole, it's very difficult to make blanket statements and expect no one to have a problem with it (I'm a Gen X'er and I'm NOT a slacker). Brokaw's “greatest generation” surely included some slackers, so how did the generation ever become the greatest? Also, we live in a world where age is becoming more relevant. An 18-year-old in today's society is, by virtue of living in our current society, not as developed socially as an 18-year-old from 1940. Natural life expectancy has skyrocketed since 1940, meaning that 18 back then was probably about what 25 is now. Writing off ANY generation before it's really had a chance to establish itself is just a mistake (and shortsighted).
