[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 797608, member: 3306"] I think of it this way. Before WW2, there was the Great Depression and the social programs that were set up to try to get people earning again. Think of the wonderful structures that still stand today that were built by the WPA... The stadium in Clubrune is still in use today, as are many state park structures, schools and public buildings. There was also the CCC, which planted trees all across the country. Those young men lived in military-type situations. They had to work hard. They had to act as a unit. They became physically strong. Those young men went directly into service, many of them, when the war began, and they were already had that group mindset to get things accomplished. And they were already loyal to this country, who had given them the chance to get out, in my uncle's case, to see a part of the country they'd not seen before, and to accomplish things that were highly visible and worthy. It was like they were made to be soldiers. That's my opinion, anyway. [/QUOTE]
