Thats ing retarded. Labor unions before the war were just as vocal, if not more so, as they are today.
The reason we do not have this need to mobilize now is because of technology, specifically nuclear weapons. Massive war has become a world ending event, and we are stuck in low intensity conflicts that neither motivate the masses nor spur any need for production.

not even addressing the first point...
but for the second, I'd say it relates more to the triumph of the 'not my problem' mentality, the impact of which extends far beyond progress in military technology development.

Awesome pics!
This is one of my favorite videos. It's of a streetcar traveling down Market Street in San Francisco in 1905, accompanied by an amazing song.

Yes... that's when they had a place and a non-destructive impact on industry. Now all they do is demand reward for mediocrity at the taxpayer's expense.
