Generation Empire

The moral issues thrust at German youth in the brilliant miniseries Generation War need an American interpretation, perhaps a Generation Empire miniseries set ... when? The McKinley era, when empire found its fervor? The Vietnam era, during the last significant peace movement? Or perhaps during WWII, challenging the notion of a Great Generation? Or more recently? Or is the film Born on the Fourth of July as close as we'll get?

Of course, it is much harder for winners to look in the mirror than it is for the defeated.
