Never been happy about that part.  Its not like you guys asked to deal with the mess, Generation X didn't either,  the Boomers made.

Understand that it was the Lost, particularly those who fought the First World War, that were organizing anti-war protests in the period prior to Pear Harbor.  It was well known at the time that FDR wanted to get into that war.  If you did get stuck fighting it then you probably wanted to have Patton be your commanding officer since his casualty rates were pretty low.  He didn't do political correctness and politics particularly well but chances good that you would survive.

In one respect the Lost were different than Generation X, they had a little more trust in government which they had lost in their old age.
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. -- H.L. Mencken

If one rejects laissez faire on account of man's fallibility and moral weakness, one must for the same reason also reject every kind of government action.   -- Ludwig von Mises
