I thought the boomers were the ones defeating the Communists on the battle field while the "greatest generations" congressmen, Journalists, news anchors, presidents, and Senators and Generals were finding ways to submit to them?
A lot went to fight...a lot didn't. And a lot would not have fought if it weren't for the Draft.
And a lot said stupid crap like "they're just agrarian reformers. There won't be a blood bath afterwards, that's just Right Wing BS".
Uh, no it wasn't.
As for the GG folks, well...who went to war in Korea and Vietnam, if not the same guys who fought WWII? By that I mean they were the commanders who reacted to Soviet internationalism and agitation.
The Boomers bought the Leftist BS in the late 60's about how we were just beating up on poor people trying to free themselves from Evil Imperialist Colonialism. That's simply being credulous morons.
The history of every Communist rebellion always ends in wholesale massacres: it's the basis of the philosophy - murder the Bourgeosie and anyone else who doesn't agree with you.
