During WWII, Americans developed from isolationist small-town "Doughboys" to worldly "global citizens" of vast experience--like an educational "exchange program". Thanks to emerging communications, it was all broadcast overseas to the homeland, injecting America with cultural awareness.
Abroad, the wartime participants experienced:
Inner Strength
Resourcefulness
Excitement
International Teamwork
Building Up the Youth to be Dutiful
Non-racist Humanity
Interracial Acceptance
which led to Interracial Admiration and Love
Womens' Equality
Humility & Humbleness
Americans--who had previously never left their hometown or district--finally saw how grand the world is beyond their own backyard: ancient cultures, customs, great architecture, history, lineage, cuisine, spices, technology, art, recuperation, gratefulness, and different (perhaps better) ways of living.
I've often wondered how such "educated" and immersed individuals lost sight of such an education
after returning to America and meekly following the demands of Big Industry planners.
They surrendered it all to become "bean counters" who ate "plastic food", lived in austere architecture, abandoned their cities--which were on the cusp of grandeur since the 1930s--and settled for TV dinners, lab-made artificial ingredients, traffic jams, faulty technology, crappy entertainment, and a static lifestyle. Look at the United States of America now. How did it revert to being racist, chauvinistic, unequal, "redneck", scared, and isolationist? *To see what I'm referring to, please use this link:
Why are the same demographics--who helped America win the war--still being downtrodden upon? That is America's greatest defeat from the war.
