2. But, they don't speak for everybody

My parents fought in WWII. Both were in the Army--my mother was a nurse stationed in the Philippines and my dad was a soldier in Europe. They and many others who fought for this country are rolling over in their grave. They fought for this country for us, their children and grandchildren. They wanted us to have a better life than they did, but all they got were a bunch of spoiled brats.

I know it feels like this is what America wanted, but America doesn't know what it wants until they don't have it anymore.
