5. My experience has been that of all the soldiers in America, WWII vets get it.

Most understood the American values they were fighting for. My dad was a soldier in that War, and what he took from that experience allowed him to continue being a Liberal, working for the military. He had a sincere respect for the conservative leanings of the military because he truly believed that they were fighting for his right to have the freedom to make the choice of his political leanings.

Had he lived longer, we would have had the discussion if he felt that military soldiers today, still heeded the lessons of WWII.

Sadly, it is also a generation whose time on Earth is almost over.
