Beyond the Greatest Generation

Brokaw’s greatest generation eventually beget the least prepared military generation

The least prepared military generation had a childhood attached to sedentary video games

The least prepared generation often had a soccer mom filling up the schedule of childhood fully controlled

The least prepared had a home and/or school computer for extra on-screen time accompanied by cut out recess

The least prepared beget fine surgical technicians, computer programmers and drone operators

The least prepared assigned non-military occupational specialties to different content combat areas then recycled them back in for more insanity

The least prepared had extra corporate chemicals infested throughout their childhood diets

The least prepared re-rotated back into the greatest greedy generation’s business agendas, energy-wars, large scale drug farm extravaganza…

The least prepared were lucky to land in such a low intensity low threat areas

The least prepared were fortunate to have tiny country enemies that couldn’t mount major assaults

The least prepared asked the American public to restock their care packages with more video games as that was deemed a better use of war zone down time than letters home, increased fitness building or learning more about the enemy habits and patterns

The least prepared often returned to lesser prepared veteran’s hospitals who operated in a system where the super greedy got Washington to give them money needed everywhere else in society
