Agreed. Their cause sucked and they were traitors. But they fought pretty hard none the less. And the North driving Old Dixie Down was about the most righteous thing this country has ever done.AZDuck said:

From a raw statistical standpoint - in this case military age men killed in war, per capita - they are the greatest generation of Americans and it's not even close. If you want a Tuff SEC/ACC type stat, consider that no other nation in modern history - except for Serbia in WWI - lost a higher percentage of their military age men in war than the CSA did from 1861- 65. Not Russia in WWI or WWII. Not France in the Napoleonic Wars and WWI. Not Germany or Japan, etc, etc, ec.BearsWiin said:

I like the CSA because they had a dope flag and stood up and died for what they believe in, which is more than any of you can say. I don't even think slavery is that bad as long as it's not just blacks being slaves.
Gonna disagree with race saying millennials aren't #1 all time. We started facebook and dub step. That's way better than winning a war (or losing as in the boomers' case) and smart of us not to die in combat. We are advanced. -

It isn't? It's the most revolutionary thing anyone has done to improve communication and interconnectedness.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

There's some disagreement, but many place the divide at Dec 31, 1980. The Winklevii are in the gray area.PurpleThrobber said:

Per your link:Many researchers and demographers continue to use dates which correspond to the strict fertility patterns in the population, which results in a Generation X starting date of 1965, such as Pew Research Center which uses a range of 1965–1980,[13] MetLife which uses 1965–1976,[3] Australia’s McCrindle Research Center which uses 1965–1979,[14] and Gallup which also uses 1965–1979.[15]
Seems that the majority would place the tWinklevosses' as Millenials.
Author Jeff Gordinier, in his 2008 book X Saves the World, defines Generation X as those born roughly between 1961–1977 but possibly as late as 1980.[20] Canadian author and professor David Foot divides the post-boomer generation into two groups: Generation X, born between 1960 and 1966; and the "Bust Generation", born between 1967 and 1979, In his book Boom Bust & Echo: How to Profit from the Coming Demographic Shift.
