Did you know that Operation Magic carpet had to be expedited to avoid mutinies worsening? Yes, there were several MUTINIES and strikes in the armed forces because guys just wanted to go home now that the job was done. The rate of demobilization in the United States was so rapid because of troops being done with soldiering, it functionally gutted the armed forces for it be still a problem when shit kicked off in Korea five years later.
Morale would've been fucking though the floor if you told them to initiate another war against an ally even stronger then the Nazis. Not to mention the chaos that'd erupt behind the lines. In France, for instance, where communists had just a moment ago been a major resistance player. And at home? Do you think people would continue working long hours to supply such a conflict, or would the be trouble from the highly unionized labor force of the day?
