No, they wouldn’t.
They’d be baby boomers and union shops stewards getting their pie.
Our remote ancestors, now they were shooting by now. but that blood has been bred out of America, except for neanderthal throwbacks like you and me...
I’m a late “baby boomer” (born 1960) and my father was a depression kid who went on to fight in World War II, Korea and early Vietnam. My grandfather was drafted for World War I but never left Camp Dodge, where I was on a Selective Service draft board about 70 years later.
