The correct answer is “They were used to make ammunition and explosives”

After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, US joined the WWII. Many commodities such as rubber and cloth were precious and the government encouraged American citizens to contribute across the country and give rubber, unused clothes, nylon and silk stockings, and any leftover fat to make jeep tires, cleaning rags, parachutes, and explosives.

Metal was a vital material to make tanks and ammunition. Because of that, people donated pans, old tractors, iron fences, trolley tracks, anything that could be transformed into ammunition, tanks, and explosives. This actually didn’t help a lot but brought citizens together as a patriotic unity.

satela [25.4K]

I'm going to answer this as someone who doesn't like k-pop, and doesn't really care about BTS. (Thus giving you an unbiased view)

No. I do not not thing they should serve in the millitary. Not because they are famous or anything. I think that if they do not want to serve in the millitary, they should not have to. I do not think anyone anywhere should be forced or required by law to be in the millitary.

What is July 14th called in France? Why? How does this compare with Independence Day celebrated in America?
Rufina [12.5K]
July 14th in France is called Bastille Day. It is called this because Bastille Day commemorates the first anniversary of Storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789, a turning point of the French Revolution, as well as the Fête de la Fédération which celebrated the unity of the French people on July 14th 1790. Bastille day compares with Independence Day in America because both holidays celebrate huge factors in history. For example, the fourth of July in the U.S. commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 while Bastille Day celebrates a turning point in the French revolution (The Storming of the Bastille).
