After we're gone will anyone still remember? Not many. We are the sons and daughters of the Greatest Generation. I was raised on WWII stories from family members as were others. "Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot, But he'll remember with advantages What feats he did that day..." -Henry V

After knowing what we do, the idiots will probably do it again.

Idiots have been with us since the beginning. Humans will always find a way to abuse each other and screw things up.

"Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot, But he'll remember with advantages What feats he did that day..." -Henry V I pray that at some point this or the next generation will be able to respond if ever needed. I fear that they are woefully unprepared should the need arise. They are untested in life, let alone ready to mount up any kind of defense if necessary... God bless them that did when it was their time. May those that gave the ultimate sacrifice rest easy. Huzzah, Huzzah, Huzzah!

The young generations are not tempered by events such as The Great Depression. I remain confident we have a population who can kick arse when need be.

The wife picked up some audiobooks from goodwill for the trip.
Although I read the book and saw the movie Flags of our fathers, it was enjoyable and a reminder of what our WWII vets faced. Unfortunately, it looks like we are creeping towards WWIII, and it is so not necessary if we did not have such idiots trying to drive is into it.

From all the guns I see in the hands of Americans, particularly the AR15 and its variants I should think we are well prepared to stand behind every blade of grass armed and ready as Admiral Yamamoto is supposed to have remarked.
