When they were teens....they didn't want to go to Vietnam so they got rid of the draft
The G.I Generation got rid of the draft because they feared the boomers. The boomers called anyone who opposed the PATRIOT Act and Iraq War an Al-Qaeda sympathizer.

I should of said Boomers protested against Vietnam causing the draft to be scrapped.

Look at this way: Every single Boomer president has been a draft dodger (Clinton, Bush, Trump)

Obama's still a Boomer by most accounts, but he was too young.

Also, an actual server who did his duty got robbed in one of those cases, but yeah, the whole "swiftboating" thing should've been a tip-off to all the chickenhawkery that gen has compared to the GI or even the Millennials with all those Iraq vets

Dubya defeated three Vietnam veterans (McCain in the 2000 primaries, Gore in the 2000 general, and Kerry in the 2004 general). It seems to me that the Boomers don't value military service the way prior generations did. Pre-Boomer generations saw military service as a requirement for being President and as a patriotic duty (hence the draft). The Boomers don't have any desire to bring back the draft and happily vote for chickenhawks.

Like I said "an actual server who did his duty got robbed in one of those cases"
