The Army, because the Army ROTC was at more colleges than the Navy. Texas A&M's ROTC program commissioned 15,000 officers that served in World War 2, more than any other school, including West Point.
The Bracero Program .
The Bracero Program was a US government program to import Mexican men to work as agricultural laborers during WWII. It was begun because most young, strong American men were in uniform during WWII, and not available to do this work. Ten per cent of the US population was in the military during the war, almost all of them young men.
The largest factor was Germany's program of unrestricted submarine warfare; even attacking neutral ships in British waters, resulting in the deaths of many Americans.
Active involvement in world affairs is called internationalism. Internationalism is a movement which advocates a greater economic and political cooperation among nations for the theoretical benefit of all. Wilson's program of political and social reform was called progressivism.
Annapolis, Maryland is home to one of the world's most premier and desired colleges in the world. Created in 1845 by the United States Navy to train and school future Naval officers, the United States Naval Academy is today recognized as one of the most honorable colleges to attend. Being in 8th grade, I am planning on attending the Naval Academy. Less than 3,000 of 12,000 people get in every year, so if you plan to attend get your grades up high! My Naval recruit officer has given me several books about the Academy, and if you ever need more information just comment on this answer.

The Naval Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (NROTC) is a program designed by the Department of the Navy. The core philosophy of the program is to have trained and educated naval officers who are ready to serve at a moments notice sitting in reserve. In exchange for anywhere from four to eight years of active service, the Navy will pay for the tuition to an approved civilian college or university. The student who joins an NROTC program can major in any field at the college that provides a bachelors degree. There are some required classes that must be taken to fulfill the requirements of the program, but they are standard classes (except for Naval Sciences). The student will not only be attending academic learning classes, but will also be training to join the Navy. This means there will be training and drills during the week. On average, there is roughly fifteen hours of Naval training per week. This time will increase as the student progresses through the program. Once the program is completed, the student will graduate and join the United States Navy as a commissioned Ensign. They will have to serve for eight years afterwards. At least four of those years will have to be active duty. In addition to a scholarship, commissioned rank in the Navy, and extensive training, the NROTC program also allows for a monthly cash allowance that is paid to students who are participating and succeeding the programs. It is necessary to maintain a 2.75 grade point average to keep all of these benefits and remain in the program. During summer months, the training of the students (also called midshipmen now) continues. In their freshman year they are taken on a naval cruise. This allows the students to experience life on a real Navy vessel and get real world experience. In the next few years, they repeatedly return to naval bases to take more advanced classes and gain more experience. For those who are just starting college and looking to enlist in the Navy or Marines and begin with a commissioned rank from the start, the NROTC program is an excellent way to begin.
There are way too many police officers and RCMP officers in this world.
Non Commissioned officers and other servicemen rapdily rose up the ranks during World War II. It was not unsual to to have Master Staff Sergeants who were only twenty five years old.
At the start of WW 2 there was a shortage of officers in a rapidly growing military. Enlisted men who had show to their superiors that they had high standards of leadership were given commissions (made officers). These men were refered to as "Mustangs". There were also the "90 day wonders" who were commissioned after attending OCS (Officers Canadate School). Another group were enlisted men who ended up performing task beyond their rank (such as Audie Murphy). These men were made officers on the battlefield 'Battelfield Commissions".
