I'd argue there's a generational aspect too. We younger folks did not live through the Great Depression nor either world war. Frugality was tossed for good in the free-wheeling '80s, when, I'll note, most under water home "owners" grew up. Growing up in a few decades of success and excess has certainly changed the national psyche; indeed, turning away from the generational question, there is plenty of evidence in our politics: Perot was laughed at, Gore's lockbox was laughed at, and Bush/Greenspan encouraged Americans to 'keep shopping' and borrowing when they should've been calling for national sacrifice.
There is a lot of blame to go around but I feel little sympathy for home "owners" who agreed to mortgages well beyond their means in the expectation that home values would never again fall.

Awesome. I have in my office a good-sized (3' x 2') framed print of Patton crossing and "christening" the Rhine. Great to read a story about someone who was there!
Glad you have received your medal! Thanks for your service.

I know that I am very lucky: my passion turned into my career! A degree from any college or university would have opened many doors for me but I am a proud UWW alumnus.

I have no idea how "disorderly" the protestor was (quite, apparently) but I'm pretty sure the First Amendment doesn't have a "be quiet" clause either......
