The Greatest Generations of Our Past! What has Changed?

Americans talk about “The Greatest Generation” of the 1940(s) and of generations prior greatness, why? Simply put they did whatever it took to ensure our way of life!
  1. WW I: How did we get involved in this war? A SHIP WAS SUNK. There are many who say President Wilson knew that this was going to happen, that he was aware German spies had seen weapons loaded on to the USS Lusitanian; German warned us that any ships carrying supplies to Europe would be a target! Did that generation call for Wilson’s impeachment or resignation of his entire staff – no they assisted the world in defeating EVIL!
  2. WW II: How did we get involved in this war? REMEMBER Pearl Harbor? It is a fact that we new an attack was imminent and Perl Harbor even received transmission, that were lost, to be prepared. Did that generation call Roosevelt’s impeachment or resignations of his entire staff – no they assisted the world in defeating EVIL!
  3. War on Terror: How did we get involved? REMEMBER 9/11? This was DIFFERENT we were attacked more harshly then any other country; we entered the War on Terror before any other country, and asked others to join us. What did our generation do?

We spent tons of money to find out who was at fault within our own government, we sued the governments involved (Federal, County, State, etc), we sued the builders of the Trade Center, we sued the Airlines that were hijacked. Years later still spending tons of money to compare an eight-YEAR administration to an eight-MONTH administration and say they are both equally at fault. We call for the resignation of the Presidents entire cabinet. We whine about our economy even though we did not experience anything compared of those in WW I or WW II (metal rationed, fuel rationed, foods rationed, etc.).

YOU TELL ME WHAT MADE OUR PAST GENERATIONS SO MUCH GREATER THAN OUR CURRENT GENERATION.
