I'm glad that war isn't happening today. That older generation of Americans had the guts and the courage and the determination and the self-sacrificing mentality to fight and to win that war, and the one against the Germans in Europe.
These days, I doubt if we have that courage. At least, I don't see it around me. I see selfishness and greed and narcissism and people who don't care about anyone but themselves. Of course, I live in L.A., which is probably the self-centered capital of the world.
Maybe I'm wrong. We haven't been tested like that since the 1940s. Thank heaven. But it has made us soft, I think.
