He's probably right about the generation more broadly, but I concur.
I've had friends go to Iraq and Afghanistan and fight admirably only to return to find our culture dancing around the golden calf.
These guys could give the WWII generation a run for their money if it came down to squad on squad combat with similar tech. Sharp, strong, smart and very well-trained.

Perhaps as large, but certainly not the same proportion of the population.
That's actually part of the reason why I'm in favor of gun ownership and use throughout childhood. It's an artifact of American culture and part of the reason why, historically, we've been able to field an adequately trained army with greater speed than other nations.
While this characteristic is less wide-spread than it used to be, it's not completely gone. Remove civilian gun ownership and I think you'll quickly find our "trained professionals" to be less trained and, perhaps, less professional.

From what I read earlier today someone already has filed suit against Walmart and Dick's for age discrimination. A twenty year old went to both Walmart and Dick's and attempted to purchase a .22 rifle. When they declined to sell him the weapon, he filed suit.

I can't remember where I read it but it was in the past month or so. There is a possibility that the US armed forces may be forced to lower their standards because the number of recruits that get turned away annually due to health, physical fitness, education, or criminal issues is making it near impossible to hit their goals.
