Your knowledge about this period is illuminating and depressing, as I’m sure you feel in your bones. The results of efforts aren’t really known for decades. We come so close to calamity and nirvana. We are so lucky to have had the lives that we have had since the war. Not easy roads, with some having more potholes than others, but paved and leading to possibilities like never before. I worked at NASA during the 60’s and early 70’s. Veterans were everywhere, some with visible scars from combat. You are right, again or still. We all owe so much to the efforts of those who came before, and who saw the possibilities in our government. But the greedy hogs and those who have fought the promise of our democracy (equality), still rise in every generation to squash the promise and assume superiority. Time again to reset, refresh, and recommit to our founding legacy. Imperfect as it was, it was a sea change and needs to lead again. The French have a great motto, liberty, equality, fraternity. Something to aspire to… for all of us
