you are joking, non?

If not, please elaborate…

“Sacrifice wasn’t a solidarity measure, it was a dire necessity given the scale of that conflict.”

It was also a reflection of the living standards at the time. Malls did not become popular until the post-war prosperity period.

I think we tend to over-idealize the sacrifice of World War II. Sacrifice wasn’t a solidarity measure, it was a dire necessity given the scale of that conflict. We have a professional military and developed economy now, not a conscript military and depression-scarred economy struggling to industrialize overnight.

All that aside, I don’t think the lack of effort on part of the war’s supporters is nearly as pressing a problem as the fact that a majority of citizens don’t seem to support the war at all.

Notice his clip of a dumbass jarhead bitching about a reporter from The Economist; I read this magazine religiously and have not seen anything that corresponds with his claims. Then he goes further to defend the tactics that resulted in our failing liberation. Pat Dollard is nothing more than a profiteering idiologue and sycophant to narrow minded marines.
