Chris Matthews and Bill O’Reilly and Shawn Hannity keep insisting, along with Tom Brokaw, that “The Greatest Generation Saved the World.”
When the World War II Memorial was being planned, I offered a suggestion to give them full credit for their accomplishments:
“They Saved the World by turning a third of the human race over to Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, Pol Pot, Enver Hoxha and the builders of the Berlin Wall.”
I was just trying to give The Greatest Generation credit for its dedication to Social Progress and Leftist Idealism.
Would you believe that I didn’t even get a reply?

Perhaps the greatest generation was the teens and early 20s something men who sacrificed their lives at Tarawa, Beauganville, Iwo Jima, Omaha Beach, Guadalcanal, etc. Surely FDR and his Jew-inspired cabinet cannot in any way be considered “great”.
