Why do I see more and more brand new Soldiers coming to the unit with an ungrateful attitude, talking shit to NCOs, disrespecting fellow Soldiers?

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority;
they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children
are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when
elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company,
gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."

This isn't a NEW view of the 'next' generation. This view has been around since atleast 400 BC. It is how leaders approach and handle this behavior that will truly mold this generation of Soldiers.
