It's impossible to talk about any group without using generalizations. Variations within those generalizations are what we refer to as individuals. As was said, no generation is monolithic, yet there are definite characteristics that can be identified.
Aside, I prefer "GI Generation" to "Greatest Generation." Never liked that term... "Greatest" compared to what?
Yeah, that's interesting. Easy to say I guess when referring to some of the WWII vets as being great. Maybe greatest amount of sacrifice?
