Can't think of a time when America was any greater (despite its imperfections some of which were egregious to say the least). Here's what the "greatest generation" (not, by the way the Founders, but our own fathers, uncles, and grandfathers) knew about fascism and its insidious nature and appeal. My father and uncle who served at Saipan, Okinawa, and North Africa, and whose gravesites I visited on Sunday were rolling over in their graves almost palpably at the fascist parallels and perils facing our country. The army manual referenced here says it well, as does Prof. Cox, and as did President Biden. Worth your time.
Beginning in 1943, the War Department published a series of pamphlets for U.S. Army personnel in the European theater of World War II. Titled Army Talks, the series was designed “to help [the personnel] become better-informed men and women and therefore better soldiers.”
