It's one guy's OPINION!

The “author” of this video is Beau of the FIFTH COLUMN. As a side note, this is from three years ago – 2020 – the start of Covid. But I digress…

Do you know what a “fifth column” is? A fifth column is any group of people who undermine a larger group or nation from within, usually in favor of an enemy group or another nation. According to Harris Mylonas and Scott Radnitz, "fifth columns" are “domestic actors who work to undermine the national interest, in cooperation with external rivals of the state." The activities of a fifth column can be overt or clandestine.

No, just BS. They would support none of today's leftist agenda.

How are you going to keep these weapons out of criminals' hands?

That old saying is still true: If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns....

EmilyD

Oops, I opened an ad that was talking about guns that didn't look like an ad, and responded to it.

The video you posted is just a recorded opinion that apparently matches your views...

All the people I know that are of the greatest generation are conservative or Christian.

So you don't know or heard of Any Jews making contributions to the Greatest Generation? What about the Nisei who were not Christian? Any number of Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, Moslems even atheists and agnostics were part of the generation. Yes since 1945 many became Conservatives over the years but it was this generation that elected a True Socialist 4 times. What would have happened if Landon, Wilkie or even Dewey Won in any election year? How would our history (the entire world) have changed? I am a fan of the Alternative history fiction genre and would like to read a novel or two about a US without FDR as president. I might even take on such a project myself.

The majority, especially those days, considered themselves Christians. FDR also put forth disastrous policies which we are ruing today. He was not a Socialist. You are definitely a fan of alternative history, alternative economics, alternative reality.

Uh…you know its just an opinion right?

Who cares anyway

JFlorio Loc: Seminole Florida

it can only regurgitate others opinions. Virtually no critical thinking skills.

EmilyD

Yup...a common trick of the left (or I can be nice and call it a "mistake"...) to post someone's opinion as if it were fact. 😐

The Greatest Generation: Definition and Characteristics
The Greatest Generation is a term used to describe those Americans who grew up during the Great Depression and fought in World War II, or whose labor helped win it. The term "the Greatest Generation" is thought to have been coined by former NBC Nightly News anchor and author Tom Brokaw in his book by the same name.

The Greatest Generation is also known as the "G.I. Generation" or the "WWII Generation."

Characteristics of the Greatest Generation

While every individual is unique, demographers and sociologists have identified some common characteristics that often vary from generation to generation.

Among the Greatest Generation, individuals tend to have the following characteristics:

They are patriotic
They are driven and motivated
They show a strong work ethic
They live modestly
They are frugal consumers and prudent savers
They are committed and loyal

Many of these are thought to stem from living through World War I and the Great Depression as children, and then fighting in or living through World War II after that.

Character Lessons From the Greatest Generation
It’s been more than a decade since renowned NBC newsman Tom Brokaw published The Greatest Generation, his tribute to the generation of Americans who grew up during the Great Depression and carried the nation through World War II.

Inspired by the veterans he met June 6, 1994, at the 50th anniversary celebration of D-Day, he interviewed dozens of them all across the country. The more he talked with them, the more convinced he became that they possessed qualities of character seldom seen in any other generation of Americans.

To say these men and women were remarkable is to put it lightly. By the time they became young children, the prosperity and optimism that prevailed at the end of World War I, when they were born, was gone, replaced by the harsh economic realities of the Great Depression.

As they were becoming young men and women, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor ensured America’s entry into World War II. In defense of freedom and democracy, that war would demand the best the young men and women of this generation had to offer. When the nation needed commitment, honor, sacrifice and courage, they responded in the millions. And when the war was over, they used those same character traits to build postwar America into the world’s greatest national power.

What traits made them “the greatest generation”? Let’s examine a few.

* A sense of responsibility
* Commitment to marriage and family
* A strong work ethic
* Faith in God and the future
