Democracy is taking a beating here 80 after the end of World War II. Shocker I know.

By the way, they weren't suckers and losers.



"Along the way, as I’ve watched the modern-news unfold, I’ve come to believe that in losing the World War II generation, we are losing more than just the memories of combat in Europe, Africa, and the Pacific, or the memories of working in homefront factories building aircraft in Willow Run in Michigan, landing craft at Higgins Industries in New Orleans, or manufacturing uranium in Oak Ridge, Tenn., as part of the war’s inner-most secret, the Manhattan Project.

We are losing, too, the memory and experience of what it means to fight fascism and authoritarianism."
