It matters because if you are going to say that a defining factor of that generation is that they went to Vietnam when less than 1/25 people did it’s misleading. It’s like saying that a defining factor of millennials was being in nyc when the twin towers went down

Fair enough... I wasn't the one who said that, and I do not agree. Vietnam itself was a defining factor of the generation, but not "going to Vietnam"
