cadre? baby boomers?

I should probably apologize to Michael Wade right off the bat.  This may be obnoxiously innocuous.  But the terminology sticks out as one giant red flag.  Understand, though, that out of the thousands of people who picked through and read today’s Letters to the Oregonian, you can count the number of people who flashed where I did on one hand.

Iowa was won by the young.  At last, a new cadre of voters to break the Beltway Myopia.  Let’s hope Iowa wasn’t a fluke.  Goodbye, baby boomers! 

Hm.

Cadre:  a group of trained or otherwise qualified personnel capable of forming, training, or leading an expanded organization, as a religious or political faction or a skilled work force; … … … a cell of trained and devoted workers.

Well, if you say so.  How many cadres of anti-baby boomers are there?
