The “greatest generation” is dying now. WWII vets are all on their last legs. My father was 16 in 45 when he joined and would be in his eighties today. Not many left.
The GG did not want to pay for things that needed paying and instead let SS turn into a disabilty system.
I am not sure they were the greatest, but frankly the boomers are the worst yet.
When the boomers (the Reagan Generation) finally emerged in politics, they checked the left, and started moving the country right, I hope you enjoy your restored second amendment rights, and the revived conservatism of the last 30 years.
I'm surprised that you prefer the generation that voted 66% for Obama and who is the most liberal in history and who will never vote republican.
