Wouldn't the people of the Greatest Generation be ashamed at the defeatists in America today?

The people of the Greatest Generation helped make America the society it is today. They would be sickened by the great amount of communists and traitors in American society today. One of my forefathers fought in WWII because he loved this country.



The Greatest Generation weren't whiners, they weren't pansies - they all just pitched in and got the job done. The military certainly didn't take it's orders from the ACLU. They built domestic detention camps, fire-bombed Dresden, obliterated Berlin, nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The war cost the USA 500,000 of her bravest sons. Not one spouse or parent betrayed their country and demanded a 'meeting' with the President.



What would these great patriots have done with the likes of 'leaders' such as Harrd Reid (told the military, "You're risking your lives for nothing"), John Murtha (called the Haditha Marines “cold-blooded” murderers and condemned them as guilty without a trial), Dick Durbin (compared the US military to Nazis)?

Reply:I think they would be scracthing their head in wonder at the decisions our president has made.



They would wonder why our borders remain open 6 years after 9/11.



They would wonder why al Qaeda is as strong or stronger than it was on 9/11 after spending hundreds of billions of dollars fighting in Iraq.



They would wonder why we could possibly choose Iraq out of all of the "terrorist" countries.



They would wonder if their fight for the freedoms that Americans enjoy are being lost because of decisions of the Bush administration and Homeland Security.



Fighting Nazi Germany is not the same as fighting terrorists spread across the world. I think these men and women that fought in WWII realize the difference.
Reply:They would wonder why nobody listened to their hero "Ike" when he warned us about the great industrial military complex.
Reply:I think they would have started a Mob and you would have seen a hanging.
Reply:There were anti war activists during WW11 just as there are now, the difference being, they were ignored by the general public. All Americans during that time felt they were part of a the war effort because we were asked to sacrifice things, like rubber tires for tank tires, women's stockings for the nylon to make parachutes, and butter for the war effort., and we were asked to invest in the effort by buying War Bonds. When people participated in the war effort they felt apart of it.

I do think the Greatest Generation would be dismade at the political climate. I have not know another time in history when the President was so disrespected by the opposition party. The Democrats declared war on Bush before he took office, so no matter what decisions he has made the Dems. have opposed them. They quickly forgot that Bill Clinton stated there WMDs in Irag, and Saddam needed top be overthrown, so did the UN and all of the Security Counsel. However, when we went to war because of that info, Bush lied. Go Figure !!!

Murtha and Reed should be tried for treason, because they have undermined this war effort at every turn It is impossible to run a politically correct war, as we are discovering, and if the Democrats get into office, we will put out tail between our legs and whimp home, only to have the War on Terror change venues and come here to our shores.

God Bless our Military and God Bless America
