The men and women who fought WWII truly are the Greatest Generation. They left home and family and literally saved the world. There is a smug little bumper sticker about that says, "War Never Solved Anything". Tell it to these folks and then ask Hitler and Tojo for their take on it.
A new book just published in England, though, documents the deep disillusionment of British WWII vets with what Britain has become. Many say that if they had it to do over again, they wouldn't. It is sobering and sad and makes one wonder what American WWII vets would say if asked the same questions. England and the United States seem to be becoming countries filled with, as C.S. Lewis put it, "men with hollow chests." The same cannot be said of the Greatest Generation.
