What's wrong with modern drum corps

I am a child of the Fifties and I am proud of it. It was a great time to be a child. Sure we had the spector of nuclear anilation hanging over our heads but we could play free and be kids without the fear of molesters, drug dealers, gang bangers, drive by shootings, abductions, etc, etc, etc.
Drum corps when I was young was strictly controled by sponsoring bodies such as VFW and American Legion. It was devided into junior (under 21) and senior (over 21). Drum corps shows centered on the flag presentation.
Now days you have NO flag presentation, NO concert, NO military bearing, NO marching and manuvering, just glorified dance troups and band boys.
Americans today are pampered, soft, lazy whiners who feel they are entitled to everything NOW and NOONE can tell them anything or require any type of quid pro quo. They do not see the symbolism or respect for flag and country that REAL drum corps used to show.
Will it take another World War and the real possibility of Americans losing there freedoms to awaken these people?
