Not all "boomers" are bald faced hypocritical liars, but if I was gen x i might think otherwise. THIS boomer did everything possible (including temporarily suspending 2 websites and posting the news that was excluded) and losing friends trying to wake people up to the fact that the US was bombing a people and a country that had done them no wrong. So think twice next time, before you generalize, as I met countless gen x and gen y(or whatever they are) that could have cared less what was going on. Ever watch MTV?
"Robert McNamara, defense secretary for Kennedy and Johnson, published his book, In Retrospect: The Tragedy and Lessons of Vietnam in 1996, in which he reveals he was a traitorous liar (how he walks around in public I'll never understand) and not only allowed US service members to die but pushed them to their death."
Even when the evil wolf came out of his dark slimy closet and spilled his guts(figuratively of course, he let his fellow countrymen do it for real) many if not most, who supported this immoral war STILL DO and still are angry at the protestors, which of course ol Macnamara himself proved were on the correct side. It's beyond amazing, its sickening.
"you would think the baby boomers writing the articles and questioning the government (Remember "Question Authority") would have been more circumspect."
(almost)EVERYONE has sold out. If you don't have at least 2 homes that you don't live in fulltime you havn't made it yet, and so you had better do as your (sold out) editor instructs. By the way, I'd bet you could come up with a few examples of "sold out" amongst the gen x'rs if you really tried.
