I did not write this.
But, aside from the spelling, I could have. Amazon.com review of The Greatest Generation.

"Browkaw The Simplton, February 25, 2004
Reviewer: A reader
Tom Brokaw should stick to news reading for his analytical skills are on par with a moron. This book fawns over the WWII generation. Sure there were some achievements. So what, every generation has challenges some may be tougher then others but it is all relative. As another reviewer noted, the WWII generation is the greatest compared to whom? How about comparing to the exponentially greater generation that had to manage though the American Revolution and a new constitutional government? Of course there are many other examples. The American WWII generation are no more great then any other. They are being well compensated for their sacrifices in the form of free money courtesy of the working person. We workers are forced to pay insane amounts into the ponzi schemes called Social Security and Medicare for which we will never see a dime or a minute of service. Talk about reform and they all cry foul. This is not the response I would expect from "the greatest generation." Stick to being a news personality Tom."
