Unfortunately many of our fellow countrymen today have little or no stomach for anything that would cause them the slightest disruption. The notion of a common good is often mocked or scorned, usually with indignation.

Just imagine what the anti-maskers would have been like during the bombing raids against London and other British cities in WWII? "No, I will not use blackout curtains or turn off my headlights.  I don't believe the Luftwaffe will drop a bomb on me."

It's a bummer. 

Since late July we've settled into a pattern of peaks-valleys-plateaus-peaks-valleys-plateaus for the death toll in the U.S.  Seems like we’re on a path to learn the hard way.

Tens of thousands of needless deaths and untold number of lingering impacts.   

I’m so old I remember when Americans were ready to take on major challenges and believed in the common good.   I also remember when we had competent leadership.

Yeah back when this country was much whiter, and those pesky women and negros couldn't vote... am I right grandpa?

What's amazing about the whole thing is that only 2403 of them died on US soil, at the hands of the Japanese, but we went into Europe anyway, to fight an enemy whose flag is now proudly flown by Trump supporters.

Thats funny, because most actual anti semitic Hitler wanna be Nazis hate trump for sucking up to Israel so much

My paternal grandparents have both told me a great deal about it and one of my school projects sometime in the 1990s was to interview a WWII vet. I remember it well.

There is a common glow  amongst these people as a result of watching a nation unite to overcome an existential threat when they were young. It took an astonishingly horrific event (77 million people died) beyond the scope of anything any of us can fathom to foster that glow. Try again.
I would try to talk with my Dad about his WWll B17 bombing runs over Germany. He didnt really want to talk about it.
In one life span, we've gone from the greatest generation to a generation with too many people trying to change this country's structure dramatically.

Here's a hot take: the Greatest Generation.allowed facsim and Communism to get a foothold , perpetuates Jim Crow and then gets credit for defeating fascism?

Let's put the COVID in context: it has kicked Yoan Moncada's and Nomar Mazzara's asses.

My grandfather didn’t go to WWII because he stayed home and ran the farm while his father was sick. He felt so guilty about it that when Korea came around he volunteered despite being in his late 20s by that time. His farm background made him a prime candidate as a tank commander, which he became.

He didn’t ever talk about his time in Korea either. No one knew he’d been decorated for his service including a Purple Heart until after he passed away. Not even my grandma.

The hell where youth and laughter go."

My father served "over there" in WWI.  He also never talked about it.

You're a liar. You probably don't even know it, because you've been indoctrinated.

Your grandfather was a communist agitator, and his "hero" story was propaganda, which you cucks immediately believed.

His hardline stance on conscientious objectors and draft dodgers during Nam which included being REALLY REALLY UPSET WITH THE AMISH was part of the perfect long con.
