No! Don’t buy into the propaganda. They were not even close to being “the greatest” generation. They are the same cohort that infected our nation with Marxist/communist political and social diseases. The same cohort that destroyed education, entertainment and news in this country. That gave us the Vietnam War and perpetual regional wars. That put the country into trillions in debt. That created the long march to a global government. And so on.
I think the generation of the War of Independence is the “Greatest Generation”, with Washington, the Indispensable Man, as the greatest American.
Bull shit.
