This is a normal cycle in human life. When the US Civil War commenced in 1861, veterans of the War of 1812 and the Mexican War (1846-1848) would criticise the young men going off to war, making negative comments or giving advice, such as, "...our flintlocks were more reliable than these new fangled percussion caps, at least we knew we had real gunpowder in the flash-pan! You youngsters can't tell if those new percussion caps will even go off!" In the Vietnam War, WW2 veterans made fun of the new "Mattel Toy" plastic rifle, the M-16; when we exchanged our wood stocked M-14 rifles beginning in 1966. "The M-14 was a "man's rifle", that plastic gun is a "toy".
