America has particularly failed veterans since the Revolutionary War, when soldiers weren’t paid the money they were promised and given IOUs(not joking).
But every generation of American has had a better life than the previous generation until now.
Every generation up to and including boomers. Gen X, Millenials and Gen Z have had progressively worse conditions thanks mainly to boomer and older politicians pulling the ladder of social mobility up behind them in exchange for bribes from the rich and powerful.
famously benedict arnold was a hero in the war for independence who kept asking congress for unpaid wages until he finally snapped and went full brit sympathizer after congress fucked around a bunch.
I’m not saying that gen Z has it the worst in all of American history. I’m saying that things peaked for boomers and progressively gets worse in either direction in time.
Every generation of Americans has had a war to fight because of the decisions of previous generations, that’s a constant in American history. After WWII was Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan and I’m sure more to come.

That’s right, America NEVER took care of the vets, even when fighting for it’s own independence lmao

With a general understanding of American history. Do you disagree?
