I like the premise. Our parents, the Builder Generation. Our grandchildren, Builder2s. We’re going to need plenty of B-2s at the rate we’re going.

Thank you, great post on a most important topic! Until war is discarded from the human toolkit, there is no civilization on this planet.

I recommend building bridges. The perspective of a lifetime wedded to youthful energy, determination and [in the best sense] idealism …
