boomer here. this person doesn't really appear to be a boomer. i don't like to wade through generational rhetoric. i've played that game long enough. for a less retarded way to reword what he might have been saying, try this: young people have not had the real fear nor the experience of being drafted into the military for a couple generations. don't talk like you have heard enough because you haven't. in a wartime situation, basic training is a lot tougher. they screen you to see if you're mentally stable enough to be allowed to carry a weapon, and they teach you that you can get a lot done to improve your life if you get off your ass and do something, as long as that something isn't going to make your life worse. that means, yes, you don't want to take the job that will burn you out, yet not earn enough to cover the cost of living requirements. that means no, you don't just do nothing until you get the dream job. for my part, i do it work, but i'd market myself as an administrator, not a desktop support kid out of high school who shouldn't mind being a contractor working out of state with a slim hope of getting full time work.  the problem is gambling fever among stockholders and a government who is being coerced to be the military arm twister for international corporations. when we were getting drafted, we often trashed our police record and health to stay out of vietnam. some went to canada forever. i can live with your complaining if you're complaining about the right problem. you aren't even using the right label. boomers are people born in 1964 or earlier. they are now or are about six or less years away from full retirement. if you post this shit, i'm going to assume that you're being played for the chimp you are by a media homosexual or you do need a severe kick in the ass to let you know that you have finite years in your life and there's no do-overs. would you feel less pussy-hurt if i included a picture of the joker here?
