127. I am a WW II baby-boomer and believe that we were spoiled and easy pickens.
Our guard was down and many of us died in Vietnam trying to be "patriot". Unlike my parents, we were raised in comfort and were/are afraid to risk that comfort to save our neighbors. We were brought up on materialism and many chose that over family and friends. Now we are paying. The sadist part is we sold out our children's future.
