> expect to be taken care of by social security and medicaid during retirement.

Social Security was created in 1935 before a single Boomer was born. Medicaid was created in 1965. Boomers would at most be 20 years old or at minimum 1.

> thrust us into many unwinnable wars

Young people actually supported the Iraq War at a higher rate than did older Americans.
