I think every older generation says that about the next generation behind them; that there's more uncertainty, life's more complicated, etc. There is but kids adapt. I was born in '73, my mom for sure thought the instability of that era was going to spill over into my childhood. Thankfully it didn't and was able to enjoy Knight Rider in peace. Apart from the nuclear threat. I think this phenomenon with Z'ers goes much deeper than living in a post 9/11 world.
Millennials did do something, they/you were the generation most effected by 9/11 as it occurred during your formative years and it was your generation that fought in those wars and are now securing positions of power.
