What age group are we defining as Boomers? Most places I've seen it defined as being 1946-1964, that means the oldest Boomers are in their 70s. This is the first generation that could have done something to correct what was happening from the previous Silent generation (1928-1945). This means Gen X's grandparents were the big problem. When you realize the timeline we are talking about, you begin to see WWII for what it was - a tool to destroy the West via propaganda. The Silent lost uncles, dads, brothers and maybe some grandparents in WWII all the while having the propaganda played in movie theaters and radio about the evil Nazis. Then after the war as they took over, they did everything they could to prevent it from happening again. This gave the true enemy, communism/bolshevism/marxism/judaism, the legal cover to implement their goals.
The problem we have is a generational one in the making, and it will take the older generations to acknowledge their mistakes and teach the younger generations that they were mistakes and horrible ideas (good luck getting someone to admit medicare/medicaide is a bad idea and should be ended). Then, and only then, can we actually begin to figure out what we can do to fix the mess we are in. Our enemy has been trying to divide and conquer us for 160 years, and they figured out how to do it about 100 years for it to be extremely effective.
The silent generation is WW1, the greatest generation was WW2.
"The Greatest Generation" were born around 1900-1924, depending on your sources (no generation has a clear cutoff point, in some sources, I'd be considered a Millennial, but my values align me more with Gen X). They were born and came of age before, during and after WWI. They lined up to fight like their fathers, uncles, brothers for WWII. WWI was fought by the Lost and Greatest (aka GI) Generation.
You need to go do research on generation names and birth years to get a better understanding of who I'm talking about and assigning blame too.
