Your post brings back memories of my great depression era times. At the time there were so called privileged children of the wealth, yes and such was/were recognized back then. My brother and I went through the ropes so to say to get money to buy what our parents could not afford. Your listing is what touched my memory. My brother was killed on Okinawa in WWII and I served on Leyte. For some reason(s) both of us always believed the US was worth the efforts. There are still many young persons with such feelings and beliefs but it seems there are many more just looking to suck the tit of the fat sow.
