Baby Boomers???
Aren’t they the long haired, pot smoking hippies of the 1960s who rallied to the Communist side during the Cold War?
Born 1956, 13 when the Summer of Love went off. My parents were ultra conservative and so we “disliked strongly” hippies
Some embraced Commie stuff as the ones today embrace Che. We had our poets as well, the transformation in the first 21 years of my life was breathtaking...
Putting all of them together and label them as all the same, I will not agree to that, I know better
God Bless
No. They’re the short-haired, rifle-toting men in green uniforms of the 1960s who fought the hot war in Viet Nam, and the Cold War elsewhere.
There are a lot of Baby Boomer names on The Wall. Many of them my brother Marines.
Those are the a$$holes that call themselves "Democrats." Boomers like me got Reagan elected, and ended the Cold War.
It took me a couple of months, but I turned my German neighbors around on Reagan. They were convinced he was going to start WWIII. Fortunately, my German was really good, as I'd been in country nearly 4 years. 2-3 nights a week, we'd engage in discussion at the local gasthaus.
I kept driving home the point that the world was a safer place when America is strong, and that Reagan was the man to do it.
Shortly after his inauguration, I was invited to sit at the stammtisch, the table reserved for family and close friends of the family...quite an honor.
