Adam Carolla thinks young people are soft.
The comedian and one-time host of The Man Show alongside Jimmy Kimmel was leaving The Laugh Factory in WeHo early Sunday morning when he stopped to talk to the paparazzi. For some reason, the conversation got onto the ongoing controversy in Iran — and whether the United States was prepared for the potential of another major war.

As you know (unless you’ve been living under a rock), several days ago US President Donald Trump acted on intelligence reports and ordered American military forces to kill Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani inside the Middle Eastern nation. Soleimani was responsible for killing Americans in ordered terror attacks around the world — no question he was a bad dude.
But the controversy came over the Americans’ encroachment of Iran to complete the mission, as well as Trump’s heavy-handed, bellicose solution to Soleimani’s ongoing assaults. Because of it, now there’s concern over significant Iranian retaliation, potentially leading as far as a major catastrophe like a third World War. And with that, could come the possibility that the US reinstitute the draft. F**k ALL that!
But Carolla had a lot to say about it when asked, and he didn’t shy away from using his time in the spotlight to blast young people for… no apparent reason? We get it, his shtick is being a crotchety old dude who hates the younger generations coming up behind him, but dude, at least make your comments funny or something…
Here’s what he had to say about the idea of young Americans fighting in any potential World War 3:
“Well, they shouldn’t have to worry about it because I think they’re all going to get a note from their doctor that says they have some lactose intolerance, or some gluten allergy, and they can’t fight without their service bag [?], so they’re never going to have to go to the front lines. … People are getting notes online to smoke pot while riding their dog through an airport. You don’t think they’d get a note from their doctor that says they couldn’t go fight on the front lines?”
And he wasn’t done there.
The comedian continued:
“We’re at a point now… do you know a 19-year-old who could fix a bayonet to an M-16 and charge into another guy? I mean, we’re not, we’re not there. I’ve got nephews. Those guys are sleeping on a bean bag right now. They’re not fighting.”
Who TF fixes a bayonet to an M-16 and charges into another guy? This isn’t 1917, right?! War has changed, dude. Also, sleeping on bean bags? Smoking pot while riding dogs through the airport? Adam… what the ever-loving f**k are you talking about???

We get it, his broader point is that young people are soft. Wow. Such a deep, thoughtful case you’ve made, there, man. Edgy AF. **rolls eyes**
You can see the whole interview in this video clip:
The possibility of another war comes up, and every smarmy, old, out-of-touch comedian is suddenly an expert on our brave young servicemen and women… ? Yeah, whatever!
What do U think, Perezcious readers?! We’ll grant him all the loopy bean bag and dog-riding talk — is Adam Carolla right about his broader point that young people would be too soft to fight in a major war? Or is it just a mindless, dumb thing to say that (obviously) doesn’t reflect reality??
