Next time you're in DC stop by and tell these guys how screwed up they were.

Every time I've been there I've been stuck by the feeling that the names of those from the Boomer generation who could've made something productive out of the rest of their generation are up on that Wall.

Unfortunately, between the absence of those who made the ultimate sacrifice there, and those who served there as well, the leadership cohort of the Boomer generation grew from those who didn't go (or went and came back with the wrong lessons. Such as John Kerry) - usually because they FOUND a way to avoid it.

THAT is one of the fundamental flaws of the Boomer generation.

BS. Most of what ails America today came from the "greatest" generation.
They gave us Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, the Great Society, "Civil Rights," Korea and Vietnam.
WTF was so great about them?
