Well said! Not to take anything away from the great sacrifices of the Greatest Generation and all they went through during the Depression and then again WWII.
However, in addition to what you posted they were also the generation who voted in J.F.K. and L.B.J. Go figure.
JFK was a conservative by today's standards! Read his first inaugural sometime (well, his only inaugural) and tell me it doesn't bring tears to your eyes.
LBJ might have been a SOB, but he didn't take any $%&^t, either, something that I have to respect. The 60's were something else, that much we can agree on I'm sure, at least.
