[QUOTE="Hydra6, post: 2970257, member: 125161"] WW2 - hard to find a male American of that generation who did not serve. In turn, that generation came home and led the nation as CEOs and politicians. My dad (now deceased like most WW2 vets) was in US Army Infantry in Europe and received Purple Heart for wounds in Hurtgen Forest and he brought frostbitten toes too. Fast forward, today less than 1% of Americans serve and US military cannot meet its recruiting goals (therefore transitioning the National Guard into a temp agency for Army and Air Force). Current leaders of corporate America have never served - and it shows in their morals. Current politicians typically have never served - such that now notable if a politician is a veteran - especially a combat veteran. Hydra6 was my final "call sign" after 34 years' service in US Army and Army National Guard. Saw a lot of changes from 1981 (last of the Viet Nam generation) though 2015. [/QUOTE]
