Fair enough. Confine your comments to what you know about today. Comments about WW II B-24 production union workers is not in your memory. Rosie the Riveter would not sabotage the planes that her neighbors depended on to win WW II. I really don’t think you do.
Another poster asked the question "could I setup and build the B-24 or B-17 today?" Yes, I could easily setup a factory to do that. However, I wouldn't be sucessful at maintaining my schedule if I had to use UAW employees. I should have stated "today's UAW" employees, my appologies for the lack of clear intent in my prior post.
As a side note, the people who participted in WWII, nearly always have a wonderful attitude, a great work ethic, a strong desire to HELP THEMSELVES and a polite/thankful nature when services are provided to them. On the other hand, their children usually, or more often than not, act and behave completely opposite to this. The contrast between 85 year old patient and a 55 year old patient is astonishing and discouraging. The sense of entitlement my generation often feels is disgraceful and indicative of a huge problem within America.
Because of this contrast, that is based on my personal experiences and more importantly, my wife's input, I refuse to call them the "Greatest Generation." As far as I am concerned you're not the greatest generation if you raised so many of your children to be selfish and dependant on others for their survival.
