Don’t forget that that “Greatest Generation” came back from the war and raised the “Baby Boomers”, many of whom were spoiled very much by their veteran parents.
Those Hippy generation Boomers were then sent to Vietnam where they thought it would be Aldo Ray, John Wayne and “Back to Bataan” fight all over again which it was not.
Then those same Boomers rallied the nation to stop compulsory military duty in 1973. Those elder and younger Boomers then had kids who grew up even more spoiled and soft with no sense of duty.
This in turn led to a nation of mostly slugs and enetltlement snowflakes of which we bitch about today but who is responsible if not both the Greatest generation AND their kids, the Boomers?
BTW I am a Boomer...
Sometimes I wonder if the abundance we’ve enjoyed since WW2 has been more of a harm of more of a good.
