It was connected to hygiene as infected foreskins were a common problem in WWI then it became a thing of matching the parents.

Turning to anyone and telling them they are defective/deformed is the height of classlessness. You shouldn't be surprised when acting like an asshole isn't well received.

Wow. This is the first I've ever heard of WW1 being referenced as a hygiene standard. Do you have a source for that?

The world war is called the world war because a ton of countries were involved and the US were the only country that had problems with foreskins?

I don't think this is true

No the USA is the only one that reacted by widely recommending circumcision. Others had this problem and confronted it differently.
