Markor-

Wow! You have a very cynical point of view.

The Axis industrial base was severely damaged during the war because that's where they were making tanks, airplanes, rifles, bullets, etc. The U.S. was trying to win a war, not eliminate competition in the marketplace! I do not understand your assertion that the "....U.S. destroyed manufacturing facilities of its competitors ... even after those countries were neutralized."

Yes, there was a baby boom, peaking at about 118 babies per 1000 women between 1957 and 1962, but you guys aren't doing too shabby pumping out 67 babies per 1000 women right now. Your connection between the post WWII baby boom and not being able to afford children today is unclear. Maybe just to me.

The so-called "greatest generation" did not invent the clearcut, nor the chemical dump, but it was while they were at the helm of running our country that the EPA was created. Perhaps a more accurate perspective is that they inherited generations of bad environmental practices, but they were the first to be aware of the problem and to start to turn things around. It is also interesting to note that the Superfund site closest to my residence, Wyckoff Eagle Harbor, was created in 1903, a good 15 to 20 years before the "greatest generation" was even born. Your all-inclusive statement " The Great Generation created the Superfund sites....." is inaccurate.

By the way, I have no stake in whether the so-called "greatest generation" gets trashed or not. But I do think the accusations should be accurate.

Not to worry. Members of the "Greatest Generation" or the "G. I. Generation" or what ever you want to call them won't be around much longer. My father and an uncle, both WWII vets, didn't make it to see the 1990's. Needless to say they didn't get to enjoy that 600% appreciation of their investments. With an average life expectancy of 75 to 80 years for people in the U.S. today, alot of the "greatest generation" should be gone already and will no longer be a burden to Social Security or Medicaid / Medicare. Whew!

Markor - My uncle was at Pearl Harbor when it was attacked by the Japanese. It must have been a life-changing experience and he never wanted to talk about it. How would have things been different if the Japanese had the atomic bomb at that time? Since the intent of that raid was to destroy the U.S. Navy by surprise attack, I'm sure they would have demonstrated great moral restraint and refrained from committing crimes against humanity by not using the bomb during that raid or later conflicts. If you believe that, I think you may need recalibration. We were incredibly lucky to be the first to develop the atomic bomb and we used it to end a war.
