[GPSCC-chat] The Greatest Generation?

[Brian]

I was inclined to think so until I recognized that they were not even 
smart enough to put wheels and a collapsible handle on their luggage--why should they be when Red Caps did all that for them?  Of course 
my  disillusionment with the Greatest doesn't change my evaluation of 
the Shittiest, my deGeneration, the one that climbed with Martin 
Luther King out of the abyss to peer from the ridgetop, and then steppedback from the brink of the Promised Land to settle for cocaine and 
luxury SUVs and McMansions instead of making the dream true.
We did succeed in preventing the war against Nicaragua, and probably 
we aided the liberation of South America such that US-backed torturers 
can now be prosecuted in Chile and Argentina, and victims of US -backed 
torturers could become presidents in Chile (Bachelet), Uruguay (Mujica) 
and Brazil (da Silva and Rouseff).   But Hollywood wars in Grenada and 
Panama and Kuwait enable the propagandists to claim we accomplished 
nothing, and that claim enabled the current crop of corrupt wars that 
continue today in Bush's fourth term.

Here's Professor Francis Boyle's poetic rant:


The Greatest Generation?
Oh really?
If they were so great
Then why did they send
Their Sons so willingly
Off to die

In Vietnam
A war  they started
While we suffered from
 
58,000 young men
Of my generation
Were murdered

By The Greatest Generation
Hundreds of Thousands
Of our Lives were destroyed
Plus
 3 million genocided Vietnamese
Not that “gooks” mattered to The Greatest Generation
Then  neither did we their Sons

 
Why  didn’t The Greatest Generation
Rise up as One
And tell the American Empire
That you will not have our Sons
 
Over our dead bodies!
Hell no!
They will not go!
 
Why did The Greatest Generation
Not fight for US their Sons

Against the American Empire
As they did against the German
 and  Japanese Empires
We the Sons of the Greatest Generation were not worth it
 
They said they were liberating Peoples in Foreign Lands
Then why did The Greatest Generation send   their Sons
To fight and die
In that God-forsaken Land?
And to murder millions living in their own
Land?
 
 
Was this some blood-sport
we had to play
With them as  pony riders
and US  as  buzkashi goat carcasses
 
Was it  reverse Freudian Oedipal Complex
Them killing us off
before we got to  them
And took their place
 
Were we  blood-sacrifice to Moloch
With them as  Priests
And we as  sacrificial lambs
 
Were they our   Abrahams
Actually murdering  US  their  Isaacs
In  a Holocaust
To their  Genocidal Yahweh
 
Hard to say
What was going on
In the Minds of The Greatest Generation
If anything at all
Mindless Patriotism

The last refuge of them Scoundrels!
 
They knew all about War
then sent their Sons marching off
 Into the Valley of Death
Charge of the Light Brigade
 
The result was predictable

A Decimated Generation
A Shattered Generation
MY GENERATION!
BUT WE ENDED THEIR DAMN WAR!
 
The Greatest Generation?
Hell no!
A Pathetic Generation!
 
May they  ever be  tormented
By Their Own  Son’s  Souls
