Actor-director Clint Eastwood believes that Donald Trump is benefitting from a trend in American culture by saying what he believes, despite criticism from all sides. “He’s onto something, because secretly everybody’s getting tired of political correctness, kissing up,” Clint Eastwood said in an interview with Esquire. “That’s the kiss-ass generation we’re in right now. We’re really in a pussy generation. Everybody’s walking on eggshells.” Eastwood specifically cited Trump’s comments criticizing a judge who was born to Mexican parents, but indicated he was tired of the media fueled controversy “He’s said a lot of dumb things. So have all of them. Both sides,” he said “But everybody —the press and everybody’s going, ‘Oh, well, that’s racist,’ and they’re making a big hoodoo out of it. Just fucking get over it. It’s a sad time in history.” Eastwood said that he hadn’t spoken to Trump about an endorsement, and hadn’t endorsed anyone for president. He clarified that he didn’t agree with everything that Trump said, but indicated that it was refreshing to see an unfiltered politician. “He’s just saying what’s on his mind and sometimes it’s not so good,” he said. “And sometimes it’s … I mean, I can understand where he’s coming from, but I don’t always agree with it.” But given the choice between Trump or Clinton, Eastwood suggested that he would probably vote for Trump because Clinton represented more of what Obama did to the country. “I’d have to go for Trump … you know, ’cause she’s declared that she’s gonna follow in Obama’s footsteps,” he said, calling Clinton “a tough voice to listen to for four years.” Eastwood criticized political figures who were using their position to make money, citing “too much funny business on both sides of the aisle.” “She’s made a lot of dough out of being a politician,” he said, referring to Clinton. Overall, however, Eastwood seemed dissatisfied with both Trump and Clinton. “Everybody is boring everybody. It’s boring to listen to all this shit. It’s boring to listen to these candidates,” he said. He added that an ideal candidate should more understanding instead of trying to insult his way to victory. “[G]et in there and get it done,” he advised, citing his father. “Kick ass and take names.”

A uniquely truthful and apropos characterization….I really like it. And I really like old Clint Eastwood….he always speaks his mind. At his age of 86, I’ll say he is close enough to be of The Greatest Generation … God bless you, Clint … And you too, Duke …
He was 15 when WW II ended. You're pretty desperate to shoehorn a lot of extras into that WW II generation, aren't you? It seems to be eating you up.

Close enought for me ... He spent 15 years in it....he knew what was going on. Greatest Generation Characteristics and What You Can Learn .
If Gatlin lies about that, how can anyone trust the claims he has made about his military service. Or anything else for that matter.
Nah, not eating me up at all. It is just impossible not to notice the difference in the way people approached things and reacted to them in those days….compared to now. Ah. those were the good old days … [TC, I get no videos to post, using the same procedure I have always used. Please, you do a test post of this video here].
I PERSONALLY knew a 14 year old boy from Kentucky that was wounded while running recon with the 173rd ABN Brigade in VN. He had even won a Bronze Star with the V device. He was med-evaced to Okinawa to recover from his wounds and assigned to my unit because he was Airborne qualified and we were the only airborne unit around. He was exposed when the army PIO people released the award of his BS and PH medals to his home town newspaper,and people that knew him started panicking and screaming at the army. He was being raised by his grandmother,and had convinced her to sign the papers so he could enlist,and had lied about his age. I also know a man that retired as a CSGM after 30 years of service that climbed the cliffs at Normandy as a Ranger to destroy the Nazi artillery pieces here. He was 15 at the time.
