RIP indeed.
But is it really the greatest generation?
Yes, it was the greatest fighter generation, but was it objectively the greatest? Just because Brokaw said it does not make it so.
Consider what happened in the years immediately following the end of WWII:
1. The post WWII period heralded the start of the activist Warren court, and led to the most notoriously unconstitutional decisions over the next several decades.
2. The Frankfurt school of critical theory philosophers like Adorno, Marcuse, and Badiou spread out into elite US universities to spread their Marxist poison, undermining and delegitimizing all institutions in America, a project that has reached its fruition in the past few years.
3.The immediate post-war period marked the heady days of atheism, championed by thinkers like Bertrand Russell, Albert Camus, and Noam Chomsky, who spread even more poisonous ideas, not only in academia, but also in the wider culture.
4. The greatest generation begat the 60's generation, which sowed the seeds of the destabilization of American culture.
All brought to you by the courtesy of the "greatest" generation.
Are you sure you’re on the right thread? Jerk.
Yup,
and slipping on my
Asbestos BVD’s!
Which is why we can never rest on our laurels. The “Greatest Generation” assumed they saved the world and America was untouchable. The fight continues. God re-bless America!
