This past November of 2016, the citizens of the United States elected its 45th president, Donald J. Trump. A common comparison in several reactionary articles was that the election of Trump was a sign that the United States was falling, just as Rome once had. The modern United States falling condition, in spite of selected similar situations, is not quite as vast in scale to that of the Rome of Late Antiquity.

There are three generations you will find in the Army; baby boomers, Generation Xers, and millennials. (unknown, The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language 5th Edition, 2016) During the recent United States Presidential election, the gaps between these generations became evident. (Niall McCarthy, 2016) Generations coped very differently with the way they perceived the candidates.
