There is no actual “greatest generation”, that was created by the lefty Tom Brokaw, to sell his book, and for whatever other reasons that it serves the left.
WWII was not fought by a “generation”.
The WWII generation was born around 1905 through 1927. That is not the same as the group you listed. I have no idea what you are trying to prove.
That was a great generation, I think mainly because of their “can do” attitude.
There were other “great” generations too. Probably the ones who fought the Revolution and War Between the States were as great as any.
I still think the WWII generation was a special one. Reading the history of my Father’s outfit, I was simply awed by their ability to do things fast and well. Many times I found it hard to believe what they accomplished.
I seem to recall Brokaw labeled the people who lived during the depression then went on to fight WWII and those that stayed behind and produced for the war effort as the Greatest Generation.
But let’s see if I have this straight.
Greatest Generation coined by Tom Brokaw = not ok
Silent Generation coined by Time magazine = ok.
Got it.
