Greatest NationGreatest NationIn this journal I am going to disagree with Tom Brokaw in his assumption that the World War 2 veterans are the greatest generation of all time. He has a jaded view of them being as how he grew up with them being older and wiser than he was. There are many generations through out history that have gone to war and had to rebuild and try and live normal lives. Among these would be the great civilization of the Roman Empire, any time period among these men would make for a better Generation than the World War 2 veterans. The reasons I make this outlandish remark is because how can you say that a generation of fighting is a greater generation that holds the peace.

The reason is because the periods of peace are considered uneventful and they are not fighting for the so called good of the country, which the good of one country is the problems of another. There is always a gray line when it comes to war. Tom Brokaw is wrong in many areas, though we were fighting for freedom in our point of view for the people of Europe. We may have liberated them from the evils of Hitler, but we left them with a worse man named Stalin. Such a great nation left such a huge travesty, many hundreds of thousands of people died because we decided to ally with one of history’s evilest men, if they were so great then why didn’t they stop him as well and realize that he was also a Hitler in disguise. They also created one of the worst weapons of all times, one that is black with stained blood of countless thousands of people.
