The Greatest Generation?

What can be said about the Greatest American Generation when they raised America's worst generation that has for all practical purposes led the United States down the trash heap of history?

Trump is the byproduct of what parents once called "too much television". Stupidity is the real zombie apocalypse.

The clock never stops....

Op, you're going to have to do your math again.

There's more than one generation between the Greatest and what walks the streets today.

Overall though, the biggest difference is that the Greatest Generation sacrificed on every possible level. Not just soldiers and money (which is all we sacrifice today) but to them it meant rationing of fuel, food and even lighted streets and buildings on both coasts ever day of the war.

Current generations never knew the gas lines and rationing of the 70's much less what if feels like to have to wait more than a month for the next generation of iPhone. They buy everything on credit and save up for nothing.

The Greatest Generation: We can wait and will make due with little for the war effort.

Millennials: "I need my money and I want it now"......"ask not what I can do for my country but rather what my country can do for me"

Comparing the "Greatest Generation" to any other generation is pretty stupid. The US was in the middle of a global war on two fronts, of course thing were different for society.

And blaming the millenials for America's problems is now just a cliche. Older people did the same thing 25 years ago, blamed the Generation X kids for not wanting to work hard, not wanting to be team players, disrespectful to their elders and the establishment, unmotivated/disinterested for success, etc. It's all just pop-psychology and stereotyping.

OP is likely referring to the baby boomer generation. The OP is in his post.

I did the math! The greatest generation raised the Trumps, Clintons, Bushes and all of the rest. They also raised many of the millennials that are just as bad.

If you are a fucking pussy or lazy or think the world owes you a living just because you were born, you probably wouldn't consider them the greatest generation. You would probably consider some other generation from some country other than the US to be the greatest generation.....which would be wrong, but you would think that anyway.

We have Trump as President - 5 time draft dodger POS lining his pockets with tax dollars at Trump Tower and Mar a Largo.

We have Republicans controlling the Congress and Senate - the cynical bastards who voted 60 times to repeal and replace ObamaCare and failed - and now they can't even get one vote to repeal and replace ObamaCare out of fear they will be thrown out of office.

That makes this the Worst Generation - maybe ever.

What was it about the Greatest Generation in their parenting that caused the baby boom generation to turn out to be some of the most fucked up people that the world has ever seen? They were hard working, mostly religious, obeyed the laws and was willing to compromise when it came to politics. The baby boomers are everything that their parents were not and the only logical reason is their rebelliousness. What caused it?

Technology, evolution. The world went through a tremendous transformation. The baby boomers witnessed both the post industrialization age of growth and the digital age. Too much change and human evolution happened during their generation. They are holding on to their youth and are even willing to destroy a future they don't understand as well as millennials.

Because of the digital age and the change in culture and entertainment as a result of nothing more than more convenient means of communication, they perceive that at as cultural infringement upon their heritage, they're not able to comprehend the new interconnected world.

As a result we have a clash of generations. And it's bitter, and its ugly.

Bullshit.

The Greatest Generation gave us the digital age, it wasn't invented in a garage by a couple of thieving assholes. They understand it a lot better than you do. For the most part, they choose to stand in the shadows (as they always did) and live their lives without it. They believed that if something was wrong, you righted it. You didn't wait for the government to fix all your problems and you sure as hell didn't put on pussy hats and bitch to the world how unhappy you were.

Ever heard of the Enigma Machine?

They took down Hitler and Tojo without a smart phone. You couldn't cross the street without an app.

Babyboomers simply took all that had been given to them and made it more productive. They evolved the digital age into redundancy on all fronts.

You've probably never known a time when you couldn't surf the internet from your refrigerator or Playstation or car dash board and the Greatest and babyboomer generations never knew a time when they weren't striving to give you that opportunity.

In summation, dear GerBear...........if you are younger than Google, shut the fuck up.
