We traded having butter so our military could have more guns. I think there were posters that talked of butter for guns. I was very young so I'm not sure I'm remembering exactly. Men went off to war so women went into the factories to do the work. That's where Rosie the Riveter was born. I doubt that present and future wars would require that of we the people but maybe it would. So what would YOU sacrifice for the greater good? Would you do it willingly and cheerfully or would you whine and kvetch and moan and groan and complain? I guess if you never have had to do without you wouldn't know how you would react. Woulja?
