If they start drafting kids, that will be the end of whatever support he has left among boomers. Boomers fought in Vietnam, many of them were drafted, and voted for “no new wars”. Trump is notoriously a draft dodger, which they chose to ignore but, I think they won’t be ignoring that anymore.
You’d be surprised. Boomers on average are more liberal than Gen Xers. Most forget a lot of them were hippies too and I guarantee the hippies lived longer than the more conservative ones.
Those age bands don’t line up well enough to generational cohorts to draw any specific conclusions IMO, other than perhaps it is unfair to paint any generation with a single brush (which, admittedly I did earlier.)

That would take a level of moral consistency the boomers frankly don’t possess.

He’s nineteen.
Boomers are okay with that,
Now I understand the thing of ‘send all to militar service’ in my country. Of course, they won’t go there!
Did you sleep through the '00s?
