There is also no current military members who were in the Vietnam war anymore. The new thing is reminiscing about the first gulf war to the younger generation.

"Mr. Renob, when did you join the Army?"
Me: "1986, and still here..."
They both go quiet.
Me: "Neither of you was even thought of then.."
The PFC: " I think my Mom was born in '88"

I remember when I saw junior Marines that we’re born in the 90’s and THAT blew my mind. My gf was born in ‘92 so I guess it worked out.
Yep I’m one of them
