And hell, the Army was forced to integrate in the 40s— they’d prefer something pre-WWII. WWII democratized our society in ways it really hadn’t before. Rich and poor met in the front lines, blacks and whites served together, women realized their worth in the workplace. It was a highly transformative period, every bit as important for the liberalization of our society as the 60s and 70s.
