Can America still produce “great men who change the future”? Ordinary men who don’t think of themselves as “great” or “brave” but who step up and do their duty, with honor, when called upon to do it? Are we turning out men like that? That is the question, isn’t it? Decades of decadence have eroded our moral fiber. Untruthful education and the baleful influence of trash entertainment have turned minds to mush and spines to jello. I see too few great men on the horizon.
Charles,
I used to doubt that we could. But since the beginning of the Iraq War I have seen our soldiers as simply magnificent. I am so proud of them!
We are still able to produce such young men and women.
I think the very real question is whether we are able to produce ENOUGH of them to sustain us through another period like that of WWII. We can send in enough great young men to serve the cause in Iraq and Afghanistan. But what about Russia or China, for example?
Here is where I doubt.
Even worse, what about the rest of Americans, those who DON'T go to the front? Are THEY anything like the men and women who outproduced the rest of the world combined in factories even as they stoically rationed their own food and their own raw materials so the boys at the front could have the most and the best?
I don't see it.

Hmm, interesting question. Why don’t you have a look at who we have in government today and what their priorities are for this country. Then let me know the answer.
