In that it gave him employment? By tipping the scale of "labor arbitrage" in his favor?
Consider the Aircraft built by Ford and General Motors....
By switching from autos to aircraft, we were able to built 300,000 a/c to hammer Hitler and Tojo et. al. via the air, vs. some grunt with a rifle. Ask any vet from 'the other side' about dealing with Jabos.
When old man Ford saw that Hitler had his labor costs under control, how many auto plants did he build in Germany prior to WW2. Add in how many German tanks that were built by Opel, a division of GM which had to be taken out at great cost to our forces.
Now fast forward to the Korean War: What caused the greatest loss of life amongst the Chinese 'volunteers'? No insult meant to the Marine Corp riflemen, but cold and lack of food were far more effective.
Should China try it again, think they'll have any problems supplying their military now?
