The hippies and commie protestors (yes, they WERE commies, directed by Russia, proven in documents left behind in East Germany after the wall fell) were HARDLY the majority of the 'boomer population' - although their whining and crying certainly received the MAJORITY of media attention.

Thus, the categorization of an entire generation the way that was done was extremely intellectually lacking.

One 'side' of that equation resides on a totally different board.

The balance (sic) resides here, unless DE wishes to claim being the 'spoiled' batch. Not raised 'dirt poor' - but my parents were - and we may have been frugal - but there was always enough on the table. For most of the world, that means my background is one of wealth.

Re: “They can thank us for fighting in the wars and protecting their sorry arses”Trouble is, you were in Vietnam surrounded by the best that the 60s generation had to offer. Most of us were here in the states, watching the news and seeing Jane Fonda, Huey Newton, Tom Hayden, Joan Baez and throngs of useless, gutless, mostly-addled hippies who did everything they could to ruin America's morale and shame the nation... if they didn't first run off to Canada, that is. Which kind of 60s-generation American was more common, do you suppose? I don't think it was even close. How did that war turn out? The first one we ever lost, wasn't it? And it wasn't because of our fighting me. It was because of the 60s generation who were here at home.

I know you hate to hear this, but the 60s-generation of Americans had the world handed to it. Look what they did with it.
