Parent's, who are pay rolling the education full of ground starers, have no clue about what is being put in their heads by liberal professors who actually teach about 100 hrs. a year. The rest of the time is spent, gallivanting around the world, on educational expeditions. What the older generation needs to do, is enjoy the time you have left on this earth. Suck in every drop, because in a few years, when the millennials are in charge, they'll be stockpiling rocks to throw at the enemy. It's better for the environment, and it doesn't leave such big holes. The problems overseas now, will be miniscule compared with the future. The millennials will not know how to handle any type of crises, large or small. They can't even write cursive anymore. They use a printer. They don't even have to think anymore, they just look at their phone for an answer. This country has much larger issues beyond ISIS, Iran, N. Korea, etc. This country needs people who understand how things used to be, just like when my older generation was growing up. Gleaning experience from someone who's been there/done that. I don't see the younger generation instilling certain things in to their children, the things our parents instilled in us. They are becoming the helpless generation, the lost generation, and these are the people who we need to fight for this country. Instead, they will be the true "zombies".
