Someone was being a snowflake in an article, or the specific article triggered an exchange that led to talk about a snowflake. Then, someone said, &#8220;Must be Gen X&#8221;. But, being a member of Generation X, and not identifying with the person being talked about, I jumped in and &#8220;dropped a red pill&#8221;. In the military, most of the Generation X were in the middle to senior ranks. Gen X was also increasingly retiring from the military.<\/p>\n<p>Millennials predominantly fills the ranks; I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if the majority of the members of the military are Millennials. But wait! There&#8217;s more! The most junior ranks are increasingly being filled by an even newer generation, Generation Z.<\/p>\n<p>This would lead to the next question. What generation dominates This Aint Hell? What generation are you part of? Silent Generation (Before 1946)? Baby Boomer (1946-1964)? Generation X (1965-1981)? Millennial (1982-1995)? or Generation Z (1996-)?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, as is the case with any open thread, you could talk about anything else you desire. Heck, think someone is a ding bat and you want to roast his or her rear end? This is a perfect place to do it (smile).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few years ago, I remember somebody on here lambasting Generation X.
