Some of us weren’t the spoiled kids of the sixties. My cousins fought in ‘Nam, and I was busy in medical school.

The split in that generation can be seen in films like Rambo, and in the bitterness against the “anti war movement” that ridiculed returning soldiers and congratulated themselves for being for peace while Pol Pot killed a million people and VietNam ethnically cleansed their Chinese population (quick: how many boomers know about the Chinese-Viet Nam war?).

The press, which are the first group, support Obama.
The others, the quiet ones who stayed sober and grew up, will support McCain.
