I think for me was the absolute undivided attention the government and the US people paid to the war effort. Todays society and political factions would lose interest and start to protest in short order. Also had today's media be in action during WW2 who knows how it would have been reported. Just the fact that several hundred soldiers were killed in training missions prior to D Day would have been cannon fodder for the MSM of today. You can imagine the reports saying The War Is Lost

A great example of today's media is how they had a slobbering hissy fit over the first SEAL raid of Trump's presidency. The media lost their minds for days on end because the administration called a raid where one SEAL died a "success". They even rolled out that senile old fool John McCain to claim you couldn't call any raid where an American died a success.
Imagine how today's media would report something like the Battle of Okinawa where over 20,000 Americans died.
