Age has a great deal to do with it. The majority of Americans have either been educated since 1959, or have bought the "news" (party line) they read and see. The "me generation" were taught virtually no American history, nor were they given heroes to live up to in the government schools. Then they were fed the "hard stuff" at the college level. So is it any wonder they have no appreciations for the price of freedom?
I agree with your point about the "me generation." But there's plenty of the other generations out there who have also forgotten the price of their freedom. It's not just the young'uns.
That's all I'm sayin.
