I agree, here is what I think happened. WWI and WW2 sent millions of Americans to Europe, and those soldiers brought back with them socialist ideas, and a degraded moral compass. Prior to those wars it would of been very unusual for anyone in America to have even left his state much less traveled to Europe.

Just an interesting historical side note, soldiers returning from WWI were largely responsible for bringing back the practice of cigarette smoking from the brothels of Paris, which before then was something generally restricted to french prostitutes and homosexuals. The women of the roaring 20's flapper era enthusiastically took up the habit to display their newly found "liberated" status, with a subsequent dramatic rise in smoking related illnesses for that generation.

BS! I can't even begin to list the ways you are wrong. Where in the hell did you get that from?

Oh, that's right. Those soldiers that liberated the camps. They thought that was socialism and thought it would be a good idea.

Or, the men who saw their friends die on a daily basis thought, "Socialism would never have allowed this."

What an asinine premise.
