Just one?
It was the age of FDR and most enlisted pukes were Democrats.

That's because most of the Enlisted remembers the New Deal and how it fed and clothed them and allowed their parents (Dads mostly) to work.
FDR had a number of work groups, the biggest were the WPA and the PWA. To take just one, the WPA.this is some of what they built: 1000 miles of runways, 651,000 miles of highways:24.000 bridges: 8,000 public parks: 69000 highway light poles:18,000 playgrounds: 125,000 public buildings:41.300 public schools and the biggie TVA. The PWA built about the same number and the Grand Coulee dam.

Was INSANE how fast the country grew during WWII. Militarily, infrastructure, manufacturing.
I remember reading in the late 30s the US was outside the top 20 in military power behind Portugal and something like 50th in aircraft production. Then THE superpower 5 years later. Something like 10 years which US GDP grew by over 8% in a year and 8 of them were under FDR.
I remember camping every year as a kid in the smokies. And seemed everything there was built by the TVA.
