An editorial offering a scathing assessment of American soldiers who succumbed to "brainwashing" and became either "semi-Reds" or defected. Drawing on a Saturday Evening Post report by William Ulman, the author of this editorial asserts that American soldiers were uneducated, ill informed about communism, and "Mamma's" boys. Thus, the communists appealed to their "vanity" and "self-indulgence."
