Chugalug2, I guess, we are the older generation are children of our time and I might not be really interested in your 1985 view of the world other than historically.
I think it is refreshing to see younger generations take a critical, maybe more objective look at our history / hero's / heritage, something were allowed too.
Same here, we have an extensive colonial history like the UK, that doesn't make us proud today. It used to, only a few decades ago.
We are happily judging historic figures from today's perspective, if it suits us. And dismiss that if not.
Perspectives are changing and the new generations feels less obliged to the rock solid values & perspectives we have.
Also on necessity of carpet bombing civilians. Whether we like it or not, hiding behind collateral & flags.
