I wasn't using that phrase with Yamamoto in mind. I was simply inferring that the United States underwent a massive transformation economically as a result of entering and ultimately being victorious in WWII in which it came out as a superpower with an economy that was booming unlike say Great Britian.
On that sidenote you mentioned however I would also agree that it is just a myth regarding the alleged comments attributed to Admiral Yamamoto.
