School News Generation of current teens deals with the repercussions of war The current generation of young people has been immersed in the War on Terrorism for a decade. As a result, students do not know a time of an absence of war like previous generations that have been immersed in domestic and overseas conflicts. In addition, students about to enter the military will experience increased military standards because of the withdrawl of troops in Iraq and future withdrawl from Afghanistan. Now, with family members and peers going into the military, students have reacted patriotically, but could still lack the awareness of war’s reality.
