[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was born in 1964. My parents did not fight in World War II.  My dad was only 10 years old when the war ended in 1945 and my mom was only 4.

I don’t relate to the baby boomers and I’m not quite a Gen X either.  Although if I need to choose, I relate more to Gen X.  My favorite decade of music is the 1990s.[/quote]

Yes.  That’s the point that people don’t seem to get. The war ended in 1945. People born in the 60s were born 15 to 25 years after the war ended. In those days it was common for people to get married young and start having kids early,. So if you were in the war at your youngest, 18 in 1945 you would been 33 in 1960.   So some kids were definitely born to parents of the war, that generation, but many others were not as they would’ve been too young to be a war vet.  My dad actually was in Vietnam as he worked for the government and he was born in the 1930s. I was born in 1964 so I’m supposed to be a boomer but I cannot relate to the boomer experience at all.  While not a soldier, my dad‘s war experience was Vietnam not World War II[/quote]

I think people dismiss the fact that the Korean War generation also produced Boomers.[/quote]
