I'm getting a little sick of the "greatest generation" bullcrap.
The same "generation" that stormed Normandy also invaded France in the first place. The "generation" that ended WWII also STARTED WWII. The "generation" has nothing to do with anything. The winners and losers and victims of WWII were all of the same "generation".
Why isn't my "generation" the "greatest"? We didn't start any world wars, nor drop any atomic bombs, nor think it's OK to be racist, nor tell our wives to get back in the kitchen when we came back from a war.
