What you say is certainly true.
But I'm curious what prompted you to say that.
Did you mean the great leaps in rocket and computer technology during WWII? The German V2 scientists that sparked both the US and USSR space programs? Or our Cold War rivalry with the Reds?
Even Lucky Strike "went to war" in an olive drab pack, presumably so enemy scouts and snipers couldn't easily spot it from afar.
It's funny, this show went on the air 15 years after WWII ended. At the time, I thought WWII was ancient history. But 15 years is nothing. 15 years ago we hadn't even invaded Iraq yet. It's only yesterday.
