[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2682842, member: 8394"] Listened to a brit who had gone to fight for Ukraine, his opinion of the ex army wasn't great. In fact it was rather poor, but said he was really surprised how tough the non vet hunter types were. Said they had no expectations of not being shelled or having close air support, they had no previous beliefs war would be anything but he'll and were quite content to be in a trench being shelled. Said vets were to accustomed to massive power disparity and broke down very fast when placed against a better armed foe. On the flip side, I'm just old enough to have known folks from the greatest generation as they died off in my teens on through my late 20s I was lucky my ww2 generation family members made it to the mid 20teens. I realize my family of immigrants turned last fronteirsman may skew on the more resilient side, but I'd wager my 90 some odd year old stil independent and driving grandmother is 10x more resilient than half the millennial grandkids and all the zoomers in the family. We don't have even remotely close to the same level of tough as we did in 41. The baby boomers were 5050 at best, the millenials maybe 40 percent tough gen x maybe 60 as they seem more competent for whatever reason than older and younger. Gen z..... maybe 10..... Reality is we are weak, only thing behind every blade of grass today are a bunch of coddled overweight "theys" scared of pronouns, work or guns. [/QUOTE]
