4. I never knew the American Legion was literally a bunch of fascists.

The group that sponsors Girls State events (and Boys State as well) is wing nutty.

In 1923, American Legion Commander Alvin Owsley cited Italian Fascism as a model for defending the nation against the forces of the left.[75] Owsley said:

If ever needed, The American Legion stands ready to protect our country's institutions and ideals as the Fascisti dealt with the destructionists who menaced Italy! ... The American Legion is fighting every element that threatens our democratic government—Soviets, anarchists, IWW, revolutionary socialists and every other red ... Do not forget that the Fascisti are to Italy what The American Legion is to the United States.[76]

The Legion invited Mussolini to speak at its convention as late as 1930.[76]

The organization also heaped praise on Charles Lindbergh, who also turned out to be a fascist.

Good to know.
