Never mind all the infantry training in the Midwest for island hopping in the Pacific! This is 1940, we've got to focus on the war...

Yeah, but this map shows military procurement - the northeast was vastly more industrialized at that point.

I assume they have another map for warm body procurement.

Or the training the air force did before dropping the bomb on Japan.
