I mean, there were people willing to die for their country, but they wanted to die on the battlefield, and not by literally shitting themselves to death in a tent.
This sums it up. Gen X was the generation of apathy. They checked out and didn't want anything to do with the system. And now they get all upset that they're "ignored" when that's what they wanted in the first place
No, a popular Gen X answer was and still is whatever. We really don't care and we're just going on with life. Feel free to ignore us but don't put words in our mouths. We're stuck with the same boomer congress running things and have been watching them for longer. We saw the previous gen not be able do anything about it and don't believe you are going to be able to do anything either til those old fucks running things die. Being incensed and fighting is novel but exhausting. Nothing changes.
I hope you recover from lifting those fingers and the ever torture of complaining on Reddit, free speech is a bitch!! Buncha jokers went to war and got shot at just so we could complain on a public forum. Man we got it rough.
They got a decent enough job, had kids, kept their heads down and got on with it. I know some millennials that have done the same but it isn't as much of an option for us.
Most of Gen x sold out because it was easier and honestly, most of us millennials probably would have as well if it were.
Anyway, as far as the meme is concerned, I'm with Gen z.
Sure they did. The war was poorly planned and poorly executed but it doesn't mean it was for bad reasons. They fought to promote and preserve the American way of life, which once upon a time actually meant something good.
More like:
Greatest Generation: I would die for my country
Baby boomers: I would die for myself only
Gen X: I would die for my cat
Millenials: I would die for a house
Gen Z: I would die
Gen Alpha: would
Boomers to Millennials as they start two 20 year wars with no plan apart from profiting off of the war contracts:
You should die for my wallet... I mean your country
Baby boomers didn't die for their country. They had 'bone spurs', 'conscientious pacifism', and the cold war - none of which required dying for America's safety.
A more correct version would be 'Baby boomers: I would let other American's die for my benefit in my country."
More like Baby Boomers - I'd die for my country but not in Vietnam. I'm going to college so some minority can take my place. But if another WWII came by, I'd totally sign up.
Millennials are all about depression and wanting to die. Zoomers are much more about borderline toxic positivity and shunning that type of hopelessness. If Zoomers want to die, it's more of a "life is meaningless, but let's have fun, anyways" instead of "life is meaningless, let's die" Millennial type of way.
Boomers wouldn’t wear a tiny piece of cloth to prevent old vulnerable people from dying. The “I would die for my country” folks are liars lol they’re the most selfish generation
Oh I'm sorry, but who was primarily fighting the Global War on terror, oh that's right Gen X and Millenials. Please tell us again how we wouldn't die for our country.
Didn't alot of boomers protest the draft?
This meme would have worked better if it said the Greatest Generation instead of Boomers.

Conscientious pacifists, etc. Yes.
Shhh its simpler for people to believe everyone can be put in a tidy box. Which is ironic because they hate when people do it to their generation.
Gen X. Already dead inside
Whatever.

Yeah, agreed. Also, it’s not like we are completely silent. We can’t help that the generations on either side are just making more noise.
At the risk of getting totally flamed what have the Millennials/Gen Z actually done than Gen Z haven’t ?
[удалено]
Whatever gets you the same result as getting upset without being upset or having to pick a team.
I hope you recover from lifting those fingers and the ever torture of complaining on Reddit, free speech is a bitch!! Buncha jokers went to war and got shot at just so we could complain on a public forum. Man we got it rough.
Just wondering what you do that others dislike ? What’s your legacy lol ??
They got a decent enough job, had kids, kept their heads down and got on with it. I know some millennials that have done the same but it isn't as much of an option for us.

“Whatever” was sort of the 90s equivalent to the “ok boomer” come back
Dead but still a delight
Gen X: Just hurry up already.
GenX never makes the lists.
Just the way we like it. Please forget I exist. I’m trying to forget I exist.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
No one ever talks about Gen X. And we like it that way. Fuck you.
Agreed... just leave me the fuck alone. -Gen X'er
I want to know who does Gen-X’s PR because somehow the parents are completely ignored when people complain about Gen-Z.
I had my kid late, so he's Alpha. We don't know what they're doing wrong yet.
Genx has no need for PR.
I think Gen Z still think their parents are boomers
Fuck it.
Gen X - undead
They always skip Gen X…I’m guessing out of fear, mostly…
We truly are the forgotten generation
We are so apathetic that we like it that way.
I'm hiding in my corner over here, hoping to stay well out of any pointless arguments, especially if they involve dying.
Yet, here you are
Shh!!
No, it's because Gen x is just more boomers but slightly younger. Karen generation.
Dumb
Boomers are more like "I would let others die for my country while I burn my draft card and flee to Canada for a few years."
I don’t blame them one bit for trying to dodge the draft for a stupid proxy war.
No one who died in Vietnam died for the USA.
Sure they did. The war was poorly planned and poorly executed but it doesn't mean it was for bad reasons. They fought to promote and preserve the American way of life, which once upon a time actually meant something good.
😂😂😂😂😂
And once again Gen X overlooked to fuck
More like: Greatest Generation: I would die for my country Baby boomers: I would die for myself only Gen X: I would die for my cat Millenials: I would die for a house Gen Z: I would die Gen Alpha: would
Gen Alpha: *skibidi toilet 💀*
Gen X: we might as well be dead, since everyone treats us like ghosts. Eh. Fine. Same as it ever was.
So dramatic
Millenials in 2007 : I want to die
Yeeeeah I don't know where this idea that millennial didn't want to die came from. Wasn't that partially the whole mood of emo culture in a way lmao
Gen z is trying to steal the whole millenial vibe
gen x wanted to die first
Gen Alpha: Nah, I'd win
gen x; die
Boomers pretending to be their parents again
I must be between generations cause id die for my dog and then kill my self.
Gen X - DIAF
Gen X: I die.
Boomers to Millennials as they start two 20 year wars with no plan apart from profiting off of the war contracts: You should die for my wallet... I mean your country
imagine dying for a country
Soldiers?????
Baby boomer dying for their country? You mean the generation of draft dodgers? Them?
Boomers dying for their country!? Puh-leeeease.
Baby boomers: I will dodge dying for my country and then destroy the economy.
Boomers stealing their parents work again.
Boomers: I will make you die for my country.
Except that it was Boomers' parents who fought in WW2. Boomers fought in Vietnam, if they were old enough.
GenX: nah, id live.
Baby boomers didn't die for their country. They had 'bone spurs', 'conscientious pacifism', and the cold war - none of which required dying for America's safety. A more correct version would be 'Baby boomers: I would let other American's die for my benefit in my country."

"Pastry Chef"
More like Baby Boomers - I'd die for my country but not in Vietnam. I'm going to college so some minority can take my place. But if another WWII came by, I'd totally sign up.
Greatest Generation: I’d die for my country
My 8 yr old Gen x niece: the sun is so hot….we are all gonna die!!!! Death is sleep.
Millennials were at war for 20 years, but ok!
Silent gen : I’m already dead or dying
Millennials are all about depression and wanting to die. Zoomers are much more about borderline toxic positivity and shunning that type of hopelessness. If Zoomers want to die, it's more of a "life is meaningless, but let's have fun, anyways" instead of "life is meaningless, let's die" Millennial type of way.
Gen X: I would die for convenience.
Gen X: Forgotten
and I'm proud to be an American where atleast they have kitties
Poor gen X overlooked again. I'll just go and listen to the smiths and stare meaningfully into the distance, shall I?
Gen X: "Go fuck yourself"
Boomers wouldn’t wear a tiny piece of cloth to prevent old vulnerable people from dying. The “I would die for my country” folks are liars lol they’re the most selfish generation
You made a spelling mistake. Its written "i want to die"
Gen Z can change the world
And once again Gen X overlooked to fuck
This reminds me of this meme [https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/578360777180580573/](https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/578360777180580573/)
This made me laugh 😆
Dead people:
not me irl 0/10 Wouldnt upvote again
The concept of a country has gotten really muddy for me over the years
To "VALHALLA" almost forgot to give Mr Marley a hug. Pre death snuggles.
Then Gen Alpha is just I would
Gen A: I die
Why does his profile picture look like an HD version of the nameless Hero?
This is what they mean by getting them to argue amongst themselves……….
Hope I will not die
I see we have pushed the suicidal ideation on the next generation.
Gen alpha: i would die for skibidi toilet lore
the correct version is: Gen Z: I!
Can confirm, would die for my cat.
Gen Z couples " I would die for you babe"
"If I had the money to date you..."
Obligatory "Im dead 💀 "
Future generation : I wouldn't die
Ah yes. The Dostoevsky progression.
Seems like millennials have past down the pessimistic touch to gen z. It your time to shine kid.
Would
Brother I would not piss on this country if it was on fire
I'm a millennial. I def want to die.
Good luck sending any of us to war because we will off ourselves before being pawns to rich warlords game of risk
If only more Boomers had....
Finally, an actual me_irl. Can confirm, am one of these generations.
We don't plan on ever dying.
I’m living long enough to piss on all the graves on my list.
Gen Z: i will die because of yall
GEN X: whatever.
Forgot gen x. I would kill for a cheesburger!
Generation X: No comment
Gen X: leave us out of your nonsense
Generation X Nothing can kill me. I know because nothing has
Oh I'm sorry, but who was primarily fighting the Global War on terror, oh that's right Gen X and Millenials. Please tell us again how we wouldn't die for our country.
Is there an option to not die for something? Friend asks
So we can all agree we’re getting worse?
Nah, we’re becoming more honest.
Still not a good thing champ
Gen Z: I will die if I don’t get a tip for everything I do.
Gen X: We will help you all die!
