Fiction

when I read about how America and the people suffered and sacrificed during WWII. And they were still mostly supportive of the war. Flash forward to today, and no one is willing to give up the smallest luxury to help support and fund the wars we are involved in. The contrast is stark. I suppose that it says something about the character of the people now and then. Or more likely, the character of the leaders, since they were the ones who instituted rationing and high taxes and war bonds.

Since I tend to find most book endings highly improbable, that should not keep me from enjoying a good book. Thanks for the suggestion.
