How did the military's of the 20th Century handle rationalisation?

What I mean is, even today, people from the South of England don't get along with people from the North, much as for example people from New York wouldn't have much in common with someone from Kentucky. 70+ years ago, in a less globalised world, these regional divides would have been even more pronounced than today, how did the military get around this?

Did they separate people from different parts of the country into different groups? What about in highly specialised roles (eg. pilots, or tank crews) where they couldn't afford to pick and choose and had to apply whatever people were available?

> people from the South of England don't get along with people from the North
That's due to the fact that England is a meme country invented by Vikings and Normans.

Northhumbria was the launching point for every raid on the south by the Vikings, the Vikings had their kingdom there.

The Normans ethnically cleansed the region to prevent the Vikings from using it as a source of rebellion. See The Great Harrowing of the North

It has always been at war with the south.

Not too difficult to drum up "us vs them" sentiment when fighting wars against other nation states. Regional differences aside, they'd still have considerably more in common with their own countrymen than with the enemy.

In the US you'd go train on regional bases from which units would be formed. Mostly National Guard bases that had been state militias up until ~1915. Naturally, this meant there was a regional commonality in these units. There are many accounts of small towns losing wildly disproportionate numbers of its young men as a result.

By Vietnam it was a lot less likely. You'd still probably train with them but the replacement doctrine of the time meant soldiers were assigned piecemeal to units that needed men.

Is labor virtuous?

It seems that most people strive to labor less. We automate our labors for more leisure.

If labor is virtuous, the best way to increase our virtue would be to tear down industrial processes and increase our work as much as possible for a more virtuous society. But no one, not even those who love laboring, have considered doing that.

If labor is not virtuous, why do we pretend it is? Why not just say that labor is an unfortunate necessity to live in society, and that ideally we should strive for a society without the need to labor?

Because we have to at least make pretend it is dumb dumb, how do you think society would look of we didn't at least keep up the appearances of glorifying labor?

Fully functional ditch digger bots won't pop into existence just because we stop glorifying labor.

Indo-Europeans did indeed exist. They were however a bunch of unsanitary horse fuckers, who managed to set back hygiene by several millenia.

They even managed to turn the relatively hygienic Indus valley civilization inhabitants (who were obsessed with bathing and toilets) into the Pooinloos we know today. It was only recently that people in major European cities used to defecate (or empty latrines) on the streets along with animals and rats.

they phased those out in favor of Harpaxes pretty quickly because the sheer weight of the bridge made them really easy to sink in stormy waters.
