Only a boomer would be dumb enough to get involved in someone else's fight and take hits to keep someone else from taking those hits. The Boomer already exceeded that natural generational time-limit of ruling tenure, so the boomer has no right to be so controlling of the important policies because the boomer shouldn't even be in the seats of power anymore. The selfishness of the boomer, especially in regard to extending US help to other Nations without the US extracting its pound of flesh in exchange for that help, is obvious. The boomer obsession with ensuring that america is the "good guy" in any conflict is also a manifestation of that generations extreme selfishness. Death to Neoliberalism, death to globalism.
John X please reply to the preceding paragraph.
While I don't really disagree regarding globalism, I do have to point out that both the dominant generational types - Civics and Idealists - tend to be at the top for more than their fair share of the time. Given it's mostly the elder Boomers who have dominated the Presidency so far, you might end up with another decade or two of us if younger Boomers also get a turn.
The younger GIs did a better job than the older ones; maybe the younger Boomers will do a better job than the older ones too.
