...just take a look into history over the past century .. how many times have we bailed them out ..

"We"?

What's this, "we"? Did you hit Omaha Beach yourself- or are you trying to somehow cloak yourself in the glory, of those who did?

Did you hit Omaha Beach yourself...

I didn't as I am only 40 years old. But my Dad (1917-1994) was a Seabee in the South Pacific during WWII. The world perspective that I have differs from that of most of my peers. Their parents fought in Vietnam. Their Grandparents were the people that experienced the great depression and then won WWII. So many of the people that are now becoming grandparents have never seen the things my parents had seen. To my peers that have those younger parents: Seek out your living relatives that are now over 80-years-old. Learn first hand what is was like to face real adversity.
