Definitely.

I've been meaning to buy The World at War DVD set... perhaps today would be a fitting day to do it.

It's just such a horrid thought, especially if you are on the front lines....you know you're most likely going to die but you go on. Wave after wave of fighters....and yes they are the Greatest Generation.

Now, we live in a world desensitized by the Liberal Left, where socialism and Metrosexuals rule the day.

Hasn't gotten us too far, has it? Of course, the Left, along with just about everyone in P&N, HATES the fact that the US is the lone Super Power...and they will do anything, with the help of the UN, to bring this country DOWN!

While I am very grateful for what these men and women did and without taking anything away from them; I object to any particular generation being labeled as "the greatest generation", that's a load of crap.

Did anyone see the History Channel special on the floating tanks at D-Day? On Omaha beach,, something like 27 of 29 of the canvas floating tanks sank. They were off course and tried to stay on course, which made the waves broad side them, caving in their canvas side walls. They think that because the tanks didn't get to shore and spearhead the attack, that is why Omaha had the highest casualty rate.

It was amazing. I had never heard of the floating Shermans.

Colonel Winters (of Band of Brothers fame) said that 3 guys in his hometown committed suicide because they were medically unfit to join up. That's a degree of patriotism and duty that will probably never be seen again.
