Re: Good read on Memorial Day
Thanks for posting that Bill.from the article -- wrote:It’s worth asking, this Memorial Day, whether the rest of us would be willing to follow Kennedy’s path.
But this other quote from the article really astonishes me -- I mean, maybe I shouldn't be surprised -- I guess I'm more dismayed, embarrassed and mad that so many would think this way... And to read it today, on this day of days... Oh well...
Old No7from the article -- wrote:It’s not just that the percentage of Americans who consider themselves patriotic has dropped so dramatically. It’s also that, according to a 2022 Quinnipiac poll, only 55 percent of Americans say they would stay and fight if the U.S. were invaded.

I've heard several people say that the average 60 year old in 1960 had a testosterone higher than the average 20 year old in 2020. Not sure where this came from, but it wouldn't surprise me.

I’m not sure the 55% figure is any different here today than it has ever been anywhere.
Consider the countries that were occupied during WWII. very few of the folks living there actually resisted the initial invasion. And fewer still formed resistance groups or took individual action to resist the occupation.
And remember, as warfare has become more sophisticated the less likely a resistance force alone could free themselves.
In WWII the French, Belgian, Dutch and late in the war, the Italians would never have sent Germans packing without the intervention of the allies.
