Maybe for some, age will change their minds. But more than likely, they'll pass their mindless whining down to their kids, who will be defended by our kids.
The same thing happened with the Vietnam generation. Those who hated both the war and the troops whined and complained about both, and passed their whining bitterness down to the next generation. Those who served passed a legacy of service down to their kids. Still today, you have the doers and the whiners. It happened with the last generation's war, and it will happen in the next generation's war, too.
Lieutenant Colonel Randolph C. White, U.S. Army, put it this way: "For my money, there are two kinds of men in this world; men of action, and all others."
