Walt: The succeeding generations following the the greatest generation has failed to produce statesmen that equal the likes of Winston Churchill and many of the great leaders back then. We do however have high caliber leaders who for self interests know how to make money for themselves. In simpler terms its going from "service to country" to "me first" Truman left office and despite his meager living refused to trade on his name believing he was selling out the presidency. Clinton sold tickets to the Lincoln bedroom.....................
