You are indeed correct. I use WWII as a marker because I have found most people, even supposedly well informed peoples knowledge doesn’t go much beyond WWII. If it even approaches that far in history.
I listened to Limbaugh this week. He was absent on Monday. He related that he was asked to address a class of College students at a Prestigious Conservative University and he was astonished at the lack of knowledge of the atrocities regarding Communism the students had at this Very Conservative Institution of Higher Learning.
His point was if, students at a very Conservative Institution, presumably from Conservative families, attending Conservative primary and High Schools are so very IGNORANT of the atrocities of Communism, imagine the IGNORANCE of the average HS student in the average Gov’t HS.
Limbaugh’s point was, the fascination of the young with Socialism/Communism is due entirely to the fact that True Socialism/Communism is not being taught in Gov’t Schools.
In fact, what is being taught is a Glamorization of Socialism/Communism. And, the young Skulls full of Mush are being Indoctrinated into this and are buying it Hook, Line and Sinker.
The single greatest, cataclysmic , life altering event in human history, The Second World War, is too much for these kids to handle. Good God. I knew dozens of WW2 veterans, a few among them who were in college at the time when they were called up but most were just average kids who were working jobs, a good many of them the sole bread winner for a family during the Great Depression because of a father who abandoned the household and they went off and saved the world. And these overly sensitive, ungrateful little bastards can't handle learning of their sacrifice.
