All self loathing Boomers think this is the case. They're generation was the first in the long line of worthless generations in this country who did the most damage.

Agree with that. It's funny how the fetishizing of the "greatest generation" by the fucking worthless Boomers has resulted in the feckless and mindless state of discourse we find our selves in now.

I like to bash the boomers as much as the next guy here. But, the Greatest Generation doesn't get off scot free either I think. Vietnam, for example, was probably the most damaging policy course of action for our national unity post WWII and that one's on the Best and the Brightest of the Greatest Generation.

Because the millennials have the attention span of a gnat, cartoons are a neato way of advancing the agenda without much meat.

And fuck the boomers. With a rusty cheese grater.

Huh? Please to be enlightening me.

Being a boomer I happen to think the greatest generation was just that.

So you're saying they weren't perfect??? OF course they weren't. You can blame Truman for not listening to Pol Pot and you can blame Johnson for green lighting escalations. I'm pretty sure Kennedy never thought it would get close to the point that it did. And before it did,He probably would have pulled the plug early while there was some face to save. Who knows though.

Pol Pot?

You mean Ho Chi Minh, bro?

Nowadays and truly more than ever, someone actually taking the time to listen to you and understand what you are saying, rather than just waiting for their turn to speak, is the greatest gift to be given. Albeit in dwindling supply.

So funny that we as an affluent nation marginalize each other to escape confronting the simple fact that we have work to do on a personal level.

Also if we are getting nitpicky, Truman was a doughboy, not Greatest Generation.
