I'm IN the military right now Plenty of young people have a healthy respect for those who've fought and died for our freedom. Especially post 9-11. Come off it, old man
Thanks for serving our country!
IMO there's a huge loss of respect for our military than say 15 years ago in our younger generation... A lot of these guys won't agree because of their age, but 15 years ago there was such a deeper respect for our military...

15 years ago was before both the Afghanistan and Iraqi freedom campaign that has impacted more youth than any war since the late 60s. This war was fought by people who are still young and this country is more responsive than ever towards Military service. You are an unplugged idiot.

You have a case of false nostalgia.

This is incorrect.
Respect for servicemen and women went up sharply after 9-11.

I really think you are wrong on this one. As someone that served almost 30 years ago (85-94), I don't remember anymore respect shown then, than there is now. I believe we tend to think things were always better back in the "good old days".
