    The "war on cargo shorts" is a "war on practicality." Cargo shorts are standard-issue summer attire in my neck of the woods (Indiana). There's no generational preference. People of all ages wear them. As for me, there are only four items I carry on a regular basis: wallet, change pouch, keys, cellphone. Without the cargo pockets, I'd have to carry my cellphone in a holster that requires a belt and I don't always feel like wearing a belt.
