Before America decided to enter the war, all it did was provide money
and ammunition for the Allies to use. When that changed, men and (some
women) enlisted and were to be sent prepare for the war. Dough boys were
what they referred to as men who came from farms. Originally, those
dough boys were to be trained more when they were sent overseas, however,
there was not enough time for them to get around six months' training
in.
