Here, here. I certainly appreciate what TGG did in WW2, but really, did they do anything that other generations would not have under those circumstances? And have they not been amply rewarded with the GI bill, Social Security, Medicare, and the benefits of almost 30 years of US worldwide economic dominance after WW2?
Can't answer for their performance in WW2, but let's take a look at the world they made afterward. Skyrocketing divorce rates, an increasingly materialistic and consumer driven culture, an economic system requiring double wage-earner families, the first generation in American history that did not have a higher standard of living than it's parents. A very mixed legacy.
