Also interesting to note...as of 2007...the "Silent Generation" never had a President. Carter and Bush 41 were born in 1924, and Clinton and GWB were born in 1946.

Well, they wouldn't be very silent if they had a spokesman as the president of the United States.

Brief Summary of these Generations from what I gathered:

The New Silent Generation (2001-)
The generation growing up into a world post September 11th and post-internet technology. Being born into a world of futuristic techonology and war, they may remain just as silent as their great-grandparents did back 60 years before them. 

I find it amusing that people are categorizing a group whose oldest members are 6 years old.

Also, I have to ask: what generation wasn't born into a world of war.  Every single year span listed had a notable war occur during it.

I don't count those who fought in Vietnam "kids getting sent to Vietnam to fight against a strange enemy"...I count them as "heroes who went to Vietnam to fight for their country."

And what exactly were they fighting for in the name of their country?

Peace.

In what way?

If you kill enough people, you get world peace.
