The contrast between the blithering coddled ones of today and the generation who both lived through the depression *and* stormed the beaches of France is mind-ripping.

To a large extent, it's those same "Greatest Gens" fault. In the understandable desire to be sure that what they went through would not happen again; naïve, but understandable, they created the most self-centered, character-defective generation in history. They refused to believe a lot of things that were happening, primarily Communist infiltration of every single institution in this country. Not all did, of course, but enough to start the slow spiral downward.

The service they preformed, along and the WWI generation was heroic. On par with anything in our history. Unfortunately, the destruction done by turning their backs on tried and true parental technique, in favor or that espoused by Communists and radical liberals, may be irreversible.

I'm a tail-end Boomer (I consider myself Generation Jones) and I have absolutely nothing in common with Boomers.

I wonder what would have gone through the minds of the men about to storm the beaches of Normandy and the men and women who struggled to survive during the Great Depression and to bequeath a better life to their children and grandchildren, had they been able to foresee these future generations and what they would do with the priceless heritage that their parents and ancestors had provided for them, at great expense.

I know that my parents and grandparents would have been grief-stricken. I am.

Were these contemporary American decadents capable of shame, they would be grief-stricken themselves. Obviously they are not.
