You need to go to Washington, D.C. to check out one of the most moving memorials to our armed forces - The Wall - and look at the birth dates of our dead. Then look at some of the dates on memorials to the first Gulf War. Then tell me, a baby boomer, that we made no sacrifices.
Either that, or grow up.
Or maybe you can take a breath and see that those guys were not part of what I wrote.
Out of the millions of Baby Boomers, only a relative few were ever in the armed forces during that time.
Most were firmly here and part of the counter-culture, learning to fine art of LSD, Che, and Maoism.
Like I said, and will repeat CONFLICT AND SACRIFICE WAS NOT PART OF THEIR IMMEDIATE LIVES. It was something the saw on TV or something someone else went a died for. Guess which group is running the nation now? Is it the veterans of Vietnam or the Gulf War or is it the losers of Berkeley and NYU?
Which group became the teachers of Gen X and Y?
Which group created the culture of cheap and quick sex?
Which group dumbed-down our arts and entertainment?
Which ones produced Clinton (both) and Obama or Eric Holder?
Was it the veterans (the minority) or the ones that I mentioned above (the vast majority)?
