I agree those that are the generation of WWII were great and fought for our freedom, with alot of them suffering and dying. Yet the term used, 'greatest generation', is a bit over used. All pass generations who fought for freedom are great and should all be praised.
Television media anchors supposedly praise the "greatest generation", but they themselves are more in alignment with the "5th column" of the day, i.e. socialists, communists, marxists, dupes, useful idiots, etc. undermining the War II effort.
What happened to 2-3-and 4?

they certainly are far and away much better than my generation....the boomers.....
my generation can be called the "worse" one in a nanosecond...
I am trying to think of the narcissism and the arrogance and the conceit of my generation, demanding a Vietnam Memorial before a WW2 memorial.....
WW2 was by far more demanding , more all encompassing, more taxing , more intrusive than anything that came along with Vietnam....
