Re: Ken Burn's The War
I Love the "Rainbow" reference, so much said in one word.
I'm glad it's on though, lets people (especially kids) know what went on before they got here, and how easily it could happen again.
They've yet to find out what sacrifice is (a good thing), but that has instilled a false sense of security in a world that can go straight into the dumper in a matter of weeks.
People back then had a full blown depression going on, and were just starting on a road to recovery. Hardship and doing for yourself were common if not totally necessary.
Today is too much "Fluff", gimmie-gimmie-gimmie, more-more-more.
Work for it,
build it,
grow it,
earn it.
