They don't admire monty, we admire Patton, Le May and Rommel on the German side and zhukov and konev on the Soviet side; Tojo, Terauchi and Hata on the Japanese side. Boomers will not succeed in ramming their money grubbing decadence down our throats.

Speak for yourself. I don't admire any of those people and I don't want you shoving your totalitarian values down my throat. Just because I'm a Millennial doesn't mean I have to accept what I hate. I have a right to be whoever I want to be whenever I want to be. You don't have a right to shove your narrow roles down my throat

There's a very loud and vocal minority against that mentality in the Millennial generation. However they're hated and called "SJWs". How do you explain that?

Totalitarianism is becoming outmoded as a model of government, probably because totalitarian rule requires sociopathic enforcers of inhuman rule. Although it is a stretch to call Donald Trump a totalitarian, the mass disdain for him illustrates that Americans do not like the totalitarian style when it is exposed as such. Most of us have nothing to gain and everything to lose -- property, dignity, and hope. If we ever should need a political leader who can stand against some totalitarian threat, then we will turn to another Lincoln, Juarez, FDR, Mannerheim, or Churchill -- someone who dislikes spilling blood of his fellow citizens. Maybe we will tolerate a Patton because of his high kill-to-loss ratio.
