Punditry = Unsubstantiated Generalizations, Stereotypes, and Plain Falsehoods
Speaking as a member of the "9/11 generation," I'd like to say the following:
1. Thanks, Bill, for raising me up to the level of World War II veterans - ego boosts are always welcome.
2. In all seriousness, this is a remarkably shallow generalization. The boomer generation was not solely a drug-hazed bunch of disco lovers, nor (and even more so) is my generation so selfless, courageous, and committed to service as Kristol seems to think.
As I've said before, I don't know what college campuses he's been on recently, but actions to back up noble-sounding calls of service and sacrifice are few and far between. And I doubt it's just my college.
Another example of why punditry really is just about getting attention.
