Boomers are the results of GI generation and the Silent Generation. My generations are not confused, I also don't pigeonhole entire generations into tiny boxes and only attribute what fits in that little box to them, which is why I chose multiple facets of the generations between the early 1900s and the world wars. You don't suddenly lose all wins/losses because you were born a minute after midnight on the day the generational names got plopped down. Regardless of any point of the discussion, we should not be calling any group the "greatest", no author seeking to push his book (at the time) to the top of the NYT bestseller list should get the fortune of manipulating generational names to ensure sales.
