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.
