Obviously, the World War II guys, that's where we, we learned everything from those guys. And then we hopefully, what we learned, we pass down to the newer generation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was born in 1942, World War II was still going. And I began to realize when I became a young adult that if we don't teach our kids a better way of relating to their fellow human beings, the very future of humanity on the planet is in jeopardy.
We learned the value of research in World War II.
After the attacks on September 11th, we all learned lessons.
Unfortunately, we don't seem to learn from history, do we? And you'd think we would.
We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. But they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.
I think, as a nation, we didn't learn our lessons from the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993. We should have been more careful in a whole host of areas.
No one ever really 'learns' from history, because choices never present themselves in exactly the same way, and because you can always choose similarities and differences to fit current needs.
Most people learn all about the Second World War in school, or else, they see so many films put out by Hollywood, that it's easy to think we know exactly what happened.
Personally I believe that the courses we followed for some years after World War II were enlightened, surprisingly imaginative and extremely effective.
The guys who won World War II and that whole generation have disappeared, and now we have a bunch of teenage twits.
