I’m 46 too and I have a hard time taking the “homeland” stuff seriously because I lived through the actual existential threat to this nation and its collapse in the 1989-1991 time period – the very real possibility of a full-out nuclear war with the USSR. Terrorism is just small potatoes compared to that. If anything, I’d say the Millennials are probably more obsessed by 9/11 – they are the bulk of the soldiers in service after all.
