Entry: Say It Loud: Isolationist-Proud! Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/say_it_loud_isolationist_and_proud#14332 Post contents: Side Comment on the US casualties in WWI. Half of the 117,000 were disease deaths, with many occuring among troops who never left their American bases- which were often little more than hastily constructed tent cities without anything approaching proper sanitation. Hundreds of of fresh faced volunteers filled with the first ever organized propaganda campaign under George Creel- signed up to fight only to die from cholera or dysentery on bases that were little more than mud fields with open ditches for latrines.
