Ch. 25 Connection Question

Authors Gertrude Stein and Ernest Hemingway popularized the term "The Lost Generation," referring to the 20-somethings after the war who seem aimless, carefree, incapable of love or seriousness, and bent on pleasure.

In what ways has our modern period of "aimless" warfare produced a current "lost generation"?

What, if any, are the possible parallels between the 1910s-1920s and today?
