Because of this event, Millennials became pro-police; they became very patriotic; and they became very pro-Bush. They rallied around the president and supported his wars. In fact, Millennials turning out to vote was a big reason Bush won re-election in 2004.
Millenials also volunteered to fight in those wars, to the point that we never needed a draft. That sure didn't happen with the Vietnam War in the 1960s.
I wonder if Millenials saw the Afghanistan and Iraq wars more in terms of good versus evil - with us as "good", of course - than did older generations.
