Someday.......... PERHAPS The DisLike button will be part of BC.I thought the "Greatest Generation" crap was sucking up to baby boomers to sell books. I mean really. Depending on what metrics one uses, any generation could be the "Greatest".

Poor Post sir. I will not comment other than you have no clue.
Ok I am biased in this area. Many many went without protest and lost their lives, many sacrificed on the home frontI apologize for offending. My point was that the title is selective. He would not have sold many books had it been titled "The Japanese Internment Camp Generation" or the "Hell Yeah We Nuked 'Em Generation". I didn't read the book so I can't say as to whether Brokaw dealt with those issues, the J.Edgar Hoovers, or any of a myriad of black eyes on the period. I just don't see how one can honestly tally up the good and bad of any generation and make such an obviously subjective statement and have people accept it as fact. I think one would have to WANT to believe and quite frankly, there is nothing wrong with that.

without complaining. They came back and never bragged nor wanted recognition.
Too many in my life that shaped my life. They had values and ethic.

Texan,
We usually agree on many posts. On this post I must point out something to you that is very obvious.
No matter what people claim the United States is now tilted slighly LEFT ---proof is the re-election of Obama.
Fox is the only Right leaning network --CNN and Msnbc split the Left and Liberal Block.
When the new Right Leaning network gets into full swing ---The Fox ratings will also be split.
This also proves the real bias exists in all media and people do not seek the "news" --they want to hear what they already believe !!!
If you add CNN and Msnbc together --they reflect that slight left lead .
Sigh........... Are we really doing ok sir?If it makes you feel any better, every generation thinks the same about the generation that comes after it and we end up doing OK.
