yes, hopefully they have some wisdom to share about war since they would have seen many of them in their lives.

Yes... Maybe the children can lean from their mistakes...
My father was 9 years old when WW2 broke out and he was 15 when it ended... He told me that he was happy to see the war end because he didn't want to go to war... He also told me the stories about what it was like growing up in the 30's and 40's when the war was on... Not pretty

Yep, im all for it. Especially the WW2 generation. Get them to explain to todays children how it was great DEMOCRATS who led America to victory during WW2 while the republicans were against going to war with Germany. And dont forget to fill them in on how Prescott Bush got into legal trouble for doing business with the Nazis during wartime.

I think the same gang that fought and protest Vietnam is messing the War Against Islmo-Fascism up. We need the Greatest Generation to help us out again.

Yes. And they should explain concepts like freedom, totalitarianism, slavery, and individual responsibility, too --- all concepts that were taught in school in the old days.
Getting the elders together with the young ones is the mark of a successful, progressive, healthy culture.

Yeah. I will get my grandpa online. The crazy old koot was a WW2 bomber pilot. Flew B-24s over Japan. He wants me to help him to break into the local air force museum, steal a B-24 they have on display so he can bomb those filthy japs (his words, not mine) one last time before he dies. He has never forgiven the Japanese.

Yes, certainly! Those memories should be passed on before they who experienced it are gone. Details of explanation would depend on how young the children are.

if the parents dont theyll find out soon enough, through either the meida, school, etc... but i belive it is a good thing to do having your parents explain things to you can help rather then coming from a stranger

Yes, and they should never glorify war.
They should explain that it is the bloody murder that all wars are.
