The way I see it, Americans would absolutely make the sacrifices if rationing were neccessary.
However, there is no way to compare what America is doing now to where it was in 1941. At the time America had to catch up to the Axis powers in terms of arming themselves for war. This required a concerted effort for a nation that needed to re-tool and build up for total war.
America today already has the resources to win just about anything they decided to do. The lack of body armour and armour plating has nothing to with raw resources it has to do with funding.
I say this without even touching on the issue of why the US is in Iraq and Afghanistan.
