Worse than the Vietnam era? We don't have celebrities flying to Afghanistan, posing with American POW's or being photographed sitting in an AA gun. But it's certainly the worse it's been in my forty-seven years.
I get Leonard's point, which is that in the grand scheme of things this pandemic is not anywhere near on the scale of WW2, or the 1920's pandemic for that matter. But I also agree with you that the way Leonard is phrasing it does appear to minimize the psychological damage many kids will have from the lockdowns. I don't think that was his intent at all though.
