Andrew, my heart goes out to you. Megan Hunt has absolutely no frame of reference when it comes to the suffering of those who served our country so nobly in World War II—your father being one of them!
Megan Hunt clearly doesn't care who she offends with her rhetoric, or how unreasonable or evil (or just plain wrong) her words are.
There is a passage from Jeremiah 31:27-30, especially verse 29, that I am reminded of by aggravating interactions like this and the ones I have had lately with someone close to me who is unfortunately inclined to react in similar ways to Megan:
29 In those days they shall no longer say:
“‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
and the children's teeth are set on edge.’..."
It has become the in-thing for kids to reject and repudiate everything their parents tried to teach them, and to treat them and all older generations with contempt. I could say far too much about the grief and shame that parents feel when their children so thoroughly engage in rebellion--as by all accounts Megan has done and is doing. (she came from a conservative Christian family).
They can make all kinds of excuses for that, but in the end, we are each responsible for our own actions.
