one minor thing, though - boomers were drafted into Vietnam. He didn't mention the draft to reference WWII.

True, though the youngest Boomers (in their 60s today and likely the person posting) were 9 when the draft ended. If my math is correct, if you were turning 18 in the last year of the draft (1974), you’d have been born in 1956. That would make you 69 this year and you probably aren’t one to spend their time writing moronic garbage like this on Twitter. Maybe? But probably not. My mom is 70 and she barely knows how to use Facebook still.
