When there seems to be some causation between unwillingness to go along with questionable practices and people in authority, and some rather stern difficulties down the road, it's very difficult not to reason that the glib and craven folks enjoying the usual upper-middle prosperity of the States made another choice when faced with precisely the same situations.
A fallacy, of course. But a very, very tempting one.
