RemGuy, it may be true that only 10% (I have not checked that number) served in the military during WWII, but EVERYBODY participated. From building bombers to raising wheat, not a single citizen failed to make some kind of contribution to the war effort. That built character, and character is what made that the Greatest Generation.
Today, less than 1% of the population is in the military, and the rest seem to have an attitude of permanent personal entitlement. Probably the Greediest Generation.
It is my considered opinion that they got that way simply because they have no investment in the country. They haven't ever shed a drop of sweat, tears, or blood for their country.
Before we return to Great from Greed, they need to.
