Pyle would be shocked by the turds we have running the show now.
Pyle’s generation had a vast storehouse of accumulated cultural and moral attitudes that have been used up, worn away, squandered and denegrated by the generations that have followed him.
The leftists of his era took most of Christian morals and ethics as a given, instead of a hard earned cultural heritage to be fostered, cherished, and built upon.
We have been reaping the rewards of using up that cultural accumulation of moral precepts, courage, and good will.
It is time to start to build it back up, but those who benefited most from it are working hard to destroy all of it.
I read one of Ernie Pyle’s books about the war in Italy fifty five years ago. It was brutal, but true. It is an unforgettable book.
One of the stories was of the B-17 bomber crews who flew from North Africa over southern Europe. The crews completed their required number of missions and were being sent stateside. As soon as they had a plane load of several successful crews the plane takes of for the USA, crashes on takeoff, killing everyone on board.
