Offsite Post: ‘The Greatest Generation’

 

Many, if not most, in the States will be familiar with the title given to the generation that fought World War II:  The Greatest Generation.  As the story goes, they survived the Great Depression, defeated the German Nazis and the militaristic Japanese, and then came home to preside over one of the greatest economic expansions in the history of the world.  But what happens when one looks more closely at the details of this story?  Are they worthy of the grand title bestowed upon them?  Let us look and see.

We have no criticism for anyone’s attempts to survive an economic collapse, so we will begin with a look at American involvement in World War II.  It is far from the white-washed and rosy picture that is held up for veneration.

The run-up to Pearl Harbor was mostly a re-enactment of Pres Lincoln’s deceit surrounding Fort Sumter:  Pres Roosevelt wanted a war with Japan, and so he got one.

The belief that US military involvement was the key to defeating Germany doesn’t hold up when one considers that Russia lost vastly more soldiers than France, the United Kingdom, and the States combined (about 10,000,000 for Russia vs about 1,000,000 for the last three together). 

The behavior of many US soldiers towards civilians during WWII was atrocious, at times even criminal.

In the same vein, the specifically military actions of the US were also questionable, if not criminal, particularly the fire-bombing of German cities and the use of the atomic bomb in Japan despite bringing the latter to a state of surrender months before by using the same fire-bombing tactics on Tokyo and other Japanese cities.

Upon returning home after WWII’s conclusion, the Greatest Generation did indeed experience a surge in economic growth, but what of the more important elements - religion and morality?  These fell to a low ebb thanks to the US Supreme Court while the Greatest Generation sat idly by:

-Christian prayer was banned in public schools (1962);

-The Bible was likewise removed (1963); and

-The murder of children in the womb was legalized (1973).

They were so fixated on building their Kingdom of Mammon that many of their children became degenerate, as epitomized in political leaders like Bill Clinton (a sexual reprobate) and George W. Bush (an unapologetic warmonger).

The title ‘Greatest Generation’ cannot be rightly bestowed on such people.  Who then could qualify?  The answer will scandalize various Marxist cadres of the Left and Right:  The Southerners of the Confederate States.  Their contrast with the WWII generation is striking.
