But how many of those involved actual rationing away from citizens and entire industries?



Literally all of them involved diverting resources away from home in order to bomb people in other countries.


But not any sort of actual rationing.

All those resources were still obtainable for a price and readily available in stores with no limits on purchase. The US has not experienced war based rationing since the end of WWII. And I am talking about things as basic as even large conglomerates like Pepsi being unable to buy sugar.
