Millennials and Gen Z are leading a dramatic cultural shift that will drive many benefits, including ideas and methods for improvement and mindsets that are open to that change. But we all need to adapt.

Deplorables who choose to fight against their own country should never be allowed to call themselves patriots or national heroes.
