Besides the Vietnam debacle, let's take a look at some of the other accomplishments of the proud babyboomer generation:
- WTC attacks '93, '01
- War in Iraq, Afghanistan
- Dot com bubble
- Subprime housing crisis
- Unsustainable social security debt (enjoy that summer home in Florida financed by your children and their children)
This is just the top 5. There is much more that the babyboomer generation should be ashamed of (see also W. Clinton, G.W. Bush). Sure, other generations have left unenviable legacies, but none compares to the mess left by the self serving babyboomers.
