One thing is a certainty, the death rate of baby boomers is accelerating.
Although it is hard to pick any certain date to pin point the start of the
baby boom, around 1940 might be a good pick.

2007 minus 1940 equals 67. The top of the bell curve is only a handful of
years away ...

I was always under the impression that the "baby boom" was considered to
have started AFTER World War II not before it.

Anyway, you are correct, after the war the "big bubble" formed.

The time-line is something like this:

America declares war on japan: 12/8/41
German forces in Italy surrender: 4/19/45
Germany surrenders: 05/8/45
Japan surrenders: 09/2/45

Our whole involvement in the war (other than supplying
weapons/intelligence to our allies) is about 3 years and 3 months.

Rather amazing really, two nations beaten in a heartbeat, now we can't
even nuke one small middle east country, go figure. No men left like
that American president, military leaders and general population with
cajones ...

However, historians note a small increase in birth to death rates just
before or at the war start. Advancements in manufacturing,
transportation, cities, etc. are usually noted as the cause. How much
this all interacted with the war to increase population growth is still
debated in the halls of academia ...

Is America at war? No, the Army is at war. America is at the mall.

Is America at war?

Actually, technically, yes. Has been for 54 years. The Korean
War went into some curious "forever truce" in July, 1953, and
that hasn't been settled yet. Over ten times the casualties in
Korea than in Iraq and Afghanistan combined.
