Great, great comment. I'll only continue this sub-thread b/c...people should know and, hell, it's off-season.
Context, briefly: I was low-kinetic** until 9-11. Thereafter, very high-kinetic--war, yada, yada--for fifteen straight yrs, starting when I was basically an old m'fer (37yo).
My point: in every theater, men and women--across the age-gaps--worked and fought together with purpose. I suppose "seamlessly" might be a fair description.
Just one of many, many examples: ran a few times w 1-506th and 2-506th, in various AOs.
Being an old friggin bastard, it almost brings me to tears thinking about the courage, fidelity and professionalism of these, well,..."kids". Some Millennials, mostly Xs and, towards the end, even a few Zs.
Interested to know what @Iraq Vet or others think, but that is my particular experience.
Anyway: I think we're in pretty good shape across the Gens, no matter the crap-talking (usually good-natured) back and forth. Rant ends.
**JA17 double-entendre.
