Blame your own generation for that. We gave you everything needed for a utopia and your lot were too greedy.

Paradise was lost when Kennedy was assassinated and the b'tards started Vietnam.

 

By the time I was 18 the major effects were already in full motion. Manufacturing was already being shifted overseas. Governments and pensions totally bloated. Etc etc.

Don't forget Aus and NZ defence forces.

and the South Koreans.

 

NZ had less than 600 personnel in Vietnam at any one time. The NZ artillery reportedly did a good job. The government was reluctant to send anyone, but NZ needs the US to protect us, so probably a good idea to send a nominal force. NZ also had a civilian nursing cohort there. I knew one of them- a lovely woman.
