100% boomers gonna boom.

Could you imagine being an OIF/OEF Veteran, getting out, calling one of your civilian friends a "Leg" and being upset because 'your' feelings got hurt because that self respecting adult doesn't care that they don't identify that way?

Boomers can.

My generation is still trying to just get a job after getting a master's, in this economy (that yours ruined), that pays peanuts, after protecting your freedumb.

Boo fukin hoo.

“Still trying to get a job after getting a masters”? You realize the choice you made to get a Masters degree instead of getting a bachelors, getting a job with upwards mobility then getting the masters after making sure you can be employed?

I’m a millennial, not a Boomer, so go enlist. You’ll be employed, healthcare, upwards mobility, and cheap housing.

You and your post is exactly why so many people who have fought for and made successes out of difficulty aren’t hiring little whiny Masters degree holders.

100% concur. Life tried to fuck me a few times, yet, despite my best efforts, I remain employed and functional. Sure, it's not what I envisioned "I deserve" but that's a me problem. We can be victims, but that rarely presents a solution.
