However, I do see extraordinary strength in the young men and women willing to put their lives on the line for freedom today, so I don't think all is lost in the "guts and gumption" department of our youth!
Yes, you're right. I temporarily forgot about that when "my Playstation's broken", "I'm not getting a BMW for my first car" and "I have to pay for my education" thoughts came to mind

I'm sure today's young people of Afghanistan, Iraq, China, Israel, Palestine and many other countries can fairly say they have problems.
