And I would argue it was partly the parents but mostly the Depression created their decisiveness and the circumstances in which the Greatest Gen found themselves. The were, for the most part DRAFTED--[B]for the duration of the WAR-[/B]-that's a biggie--in Combat, they had few place to run.
Many like my brother, from a young age, dump dived, worked at anything after and before school, quit school and joined the CCC's---this more than the parents formed their dedication--all the  helping to avoid starvation --worked wonders.  We/they as a family were in the same boat,  sink or swim as a family. The pre-war kids  to me  was the greatest Gen---the WAR  they had to do, Should the USA lose Europe or Pacific,  we are slaves ALL. Weak, Jew, mentally ill, Gay--all would die.   The last necessary war.

I agree with your discussion of Uconn kids--they are great--one issued,  I would believe the parents raised THEM.  I got it. 
Uconn kids have great parents---and they don't try to coach the coach--but I do.
