Most importantly, the army evolved post-Depression\u00a0acting as\u00a0a social boon to\u00a0everyone who serves in\u00a0it. Because of the abuse of the soldier post-World War I which they used current troops to chase out the veterans from Washington who were demanding their promised Bonus, when World War II came, the politicians had lied and abused the soldiers from World War I, they had to introduce the GI Bill and turn it into a <b>Social Boon <\/b>that became something beneficial to a specific person with careers and education.
