Greatest Generation

[traininthedistance]

In general it's really silly to say that any one generation is "better" than another generation, let alone make a pissing contest out of it.  Not least because, how do you even define those generations in the first place?

However, the G.I.s did have the double whammy of having to grow up with the Depression and then fight the Nazis.  That's a tough challenge, and it deserves our kudos even today.
