I think this is an impossible question to answer, but proposing it implicitly condones child labor as a component of the "return to greatness" that so many on the right desire.
Ocean experience = 0 Having to initiate burning other humans alive experience = 0 Finally, keeping occupier Marines inline and only going to the 'approved' comfort houses (this really made my devout Catholic grandfather who enlisted to 'fight the good fight' sick to see which is ironically why he got stuck in the position) and arresting them when they didn't experience = 0
Maybe world travel, visits to the ocean, mandatory brothel visits, and boating would have helped him do better. Maybe we should send all children on foreign exchange years to seaside towns with brothels, and create mandatory local youth yacht clubs on the off chance they need to be shipped out interact with foreigners versus make them work in factories. About as strong as argument as kids working enabled victory.
This argument would have pissed my grandfather off to no end. Don't justify child labor in their name or off the back of their deeds.
Right: "We used to be great, but now we suck. We should become great again" (though if you ask one, they could prob name things that are better now than they used to be)
Left: "We used to be great in some ways (e.g. income inequality), but now we suck at those. We used to suck in other ways (racism) but now we suck less at those. We should be great at everything instead."
Seems like very similarly shaped desires
