Millennials have fought the longest war in US history that has taken up their entire adult lives. They didn't need a draft to do it. Boomers and remnants of the "greatest generation" got us into this never ending boondoggle. Millennials didn't ask for this, but, for better or worse, they answered the call.

It's funny, kids over the last 20 or so years are worked so much harder than we were when I was their age. Some things may or may not be different in terms of their attitudes, but the regimented lives with play dates, various practices, entire weekends taken over to sports, competitive college admissions far beyond anything that existed 20 years ago - kids today have to work so much harder than kids 20+ years ago. With respect to Syracuse football and basketball - look at the bodies of the kids on the 2003 team (Melo pudgy, Gmac a skinny freshman who took the summer off to go fishing, etc). The commitment to fitness in every aspect of their lives is exponentially higher than it was just 16 years ago.

I've worked with millennials. Some are entitled and some are amazing. I've worked with old people/boomers who, at the start of my career, were shocked when I had the audacity to not roll over for them in court. One might say those old boomers felt entitled to have the xennial (? those of us born in the late 70s really are generation-less since we don't fit with millennials or gen x.) give in to whatever they want instead of pursuing my clients' interests.
