Even the worst off in our society are pampered compared to what previous generations had to go through during the war. People take a lot of granted.

Couldn't agree more, I work with and have spent much time in aid-relief projects around the world. America is bay FAR the greatest country on earth. Even in the European countries that people reference as better than America they don't have the amount of excess we have in the US. What many in the US consider basic amenities in other countries are considered luxuries.

Yep. Some scary ass stories from the Depression and war years. Especially in Europe. Sawdust bread, roof rabbits....
