Do you think the so called greatest generation was really so great?

In my family, that generation was inspirational....many in my family served in the war, and my father-in-law helped to liberate the concentration camps in Europe. My father stayed stateside and trained others who served in combat. My uncle served in a communications unit that kept people in contact from the front lines.
Whether volunteers or draftees, these men served admirably and without complaint.
They didn’t name themselves “the greatest generation”, but were named that by those who found their conduct admirable.
