Why was rationing so important?

How did rationing help the US support its military fighting overseas?

Only WWII affected the US. Rationing didn't affect Americans in WWI (was only in the war a year), Korea nor Vietnam. The US could've fought 3 Vietnams at once; before any rationing would've been needed. Although there was a "bomb shortage" during the Vietnam War, so make that only 2 Vietnam Wars at the same time, before rationing would have been authorized to take place.
