Forgot the withdrawal from Vietnam, the Iran Hostage crisis, & Lockerbie? Grenada? There were a number of things that could have gone very badly sideways and brought the same sort of urgency. I guess we got lucky that they didn't, but I don't really know. Might have been better to get it done while it was still fairly small. I'm looking at news today and not liking it a bit.

Perhaps my statement is unclear, just drawing comparison to WWII and demise of industry.
As a 26 year vet, covering those and other periods, aren't forgotten.

Ahhh, nursing for GI's and Veterans. A topic worth a lot of attention, especially historically. here is part of my link collection.
And singularly, not one, at least overtly, "Hot Lips Houlihan".

? I don't understand, some work, others won't. It's records in the US National Archives, mostly centered on WWII nursing.

Print date of the poster, 1942. Not much more than a year into it. The water cooled Browning needed steel, the jack hammer needed steel, the compressor to run it - the tracks and ore carts - the manufacturing plants - transport ships...... and soon enough that steel was going world wide to Allies!
