Millennials On Fighting ISIS

Harvard University survey found 60% of millennials want to fight ISIS but only 16% of them want to be a part of the fighting in the battlefield. I can imagine people calling them hypocrites and immoral people but as a millennial myself, I can see where the group stands and why they believe that.  First of all, not everyone is meant to be on the battlefield to fight.  There are certain skills everyone must have and they have to have certain personal characteristics. They have to have a tough skin to weather harsh situations, they have to be disciplined, they have to have confidence and be able to present it all the time.  Secondly, they have to believe with in fighting ISIS wholeheartedly and be able to die in battles if that is the case.  The truth of the matter is most millennials do not possess the necessary characteristics to be a strong soldiers and if they were to be put in the battlefield, the only way to go is death. Us millennials are not disciplined compared to our older cohorts. Most of us are still single and do not plan on getting married until we are in our 30s. Some of us do not even hold a full-time job despite how strong the economy is in America comparable to other developing and wealthy countries. We do not even have the maturity to be on our own and still live with our parents due to the lack of financial stability.  

In summary, millennials are not dumb or lack the will, we are not disciplined and do not have the characteristics to fight against one of the strongest terrorist groups in the world right now. In order to be ready to do something big, anyone has to be ready and well-equipped. Millennials just need more time to be ready, that's it. We have the drive but we don't have the skill.
