"Generation G": The Gulf War Generation




I don't mean people who were born during the Gulf War, but People who just graduated from college that year (1990).

Ulness you have a better suggestion, I will call them "Generation G".

Generation G:
1. Had a significant active role during the invasion, and the rebuilding efforts afterwards.
2. After Liberation : Student studied 2 years in 1. Employees got 7 months salaries, and their loans paid. Merchants got compensations. They got none.
3. Were not fortunate to get a job until months after liberation.
4. Until reaching 35, Literally were hunted to go for Military service "Tajneed".
5. Many private sector companies refused to employ them until they finish thier military service.
6. The government had no plan for housing for them. They either got hefty loans to buy a house or are still living in aprtments.
7. They reached the same ages as thier bosses when they took thier managment posts. And thier bosses (now 60+ of age) are still there.
8. They can only retire when they reach 55.
9. And more......

After Kuwait had Oil, I don't think there is a generation that was unfortunate as much as this generation.

And today, many of them are simply DEPRESSED.
