You brought up the draft, which happens when your 18 yo, not a 5-6 yo. I'm sure air raid/nuclear attack drills were traumatizing in their own way, but those attacks never actually happened. As opposed to the frequency of actual mass school shootings that happen in public spaces these days.

Sure, "every generation has things to get over," but it seems both boomers and millenials are constantly engaged in who has it worse syndrome.
