Not really true, Matt. There are men and women deployed around the world right now who absolutely understand the sacrifice. The next greatest generation has been on the ground for years.
They have made personal sacrifices that are on par with the veterans of WWII. You guys just haven't met them yet.
Edit: At my Sons middle school graduation this morning, we honored a number of men and women who have been deployed to Kabul for over 14 months. Some of them are on their second or third push to the Middle East and beyond. Less than 1% of the country serves in the military. I'm happy to have had the chance to be among them.
