These are my observations. Keep in mind about 80% of them would have been dead before I got a chance to get to know them well, so the GI side of these observations will be more tentative (maybe 30 individuals I talked to at any length, with about 10 who I got to know very well). I'm interested in some of you older folks' experience here, as you would have known them for longer.
Differences:
- male-centric vs female centric
- dignified vs banal
- preference for classic styles vs preference for more casual apparel
- pro-military intervention vs non-interventionist
- nationalistic vs critical of their country
- optimism vs anxious pessimism and nihilism
Similarities:
- strong emphasis on social responsibility
- collectivistic, often aggressively so
- prone to witch hunting
- more faith in big institutions
- emphasis on building
- relatively conscientious in terms of achievement
