The United States--the nation that produced the men (most of them less than 21 years old!) who stormed the beaches of Normandy, is now producing generation after generation of fools and scoundrels!
What else would you expect? Fools and scoundrels run U.S. universities, run Washington, produce Hollywood movies, and control television! Truth for its own sake is not even a consideration for these people!
It is the American people themselves who are at fault. They have tolerated this descent into decadence. It is they who have squandered the priceless heritage bequeathed them by the generations who went before, including the men who stormed the beaches of Normandy.
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.
― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man
