Maybe I am getting cynical, but when a thread on FR about the passing of one of the last of the USS Arizona heroes barely gets 10 post and a hoax death thread about a B- class actor gets over double that in almost the same amount of time I can’t help but think many be there isn’t any hope for America.

I wonder if part of the explanation for what you say might be that there are at least two generations who post here,maybe even three.Most of the older folks,me included,had fathers who were in WWII and/or Korea.Younger Freepers had dads who were in Vietnam.Speaking for myself although I have some knowledge of WWI and enormous gratitude for those who fought in it,I feel "closer" to WWII than to WWI.Perhaps the same thing is true of younger Freepers regarding WWII vs Vietnam.

Just thinkin' out loud....

Don't lose hope, Kart. Many of us simply sit and read in silent reverence. No words I could type could convey how I feel. I'm certain there are others who do the same.
