As you can see I said nothing about anyone having to server in a military branch to achieve any rights.
Earning the right of respect is not being a Looter, Stealing, Killing, Setting Businesses on Fire or even Whacking someone over the head from behind. You got to earn that right of respect which is something that's not handed out for free...
JFK once said: "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country?".. The Play Station generation believe in the opposite...
Give me, Give me...

Play Station Generation ----? I don't see that much difference between generations. Ther were plenty of stealing, looting, and riots in "our" generation, the 1960s. I lived near 2 riots - one in Omaha, Nb around 1966. One in Miami around 1973. I remember an early play station-type game called "PONG" in many bars everywhere. It was popular and just as decedent and time-wasting THEN as play station is TODAY. As to this generation being lazy - I see them riding bikes a lot, rock climbing and making new track records TODAY. Athletes TODAY are stronger, faster, bigger, and have longer careers. Tennis players play into their 40s. LeBron James has taken care of himself (not a criminal) and is still playing basketball well, and giving back to his community and working toward greater voting places for the Nov. election. He is one of many humanitarian pro athletes. More on laziness : - - - Employment opportunities have been decreasing as automation, A.I. and robotics transform manufacturing and take the people out of that picture. No more "Rosy the riveters" when it's now riveter machine # 378, not a Rosy. A.I. and robots are predicted to cause 20 to 30% unemployment in 10 or 15 years in the US. American Airlines will lay off 16,000 on Oct 1st due to CV caused lower travel. People are not, so much, becoming a more lazy generation, as much as they are having to adjust to more free time forced upon them.
......That means that people will NEED MORE NFL and other sports and other ENTERTAINMENT opportunities - NOT LESS!
