Does rest/training actually do anything?

This is a perfect example of the people with the stars showing the signs of "Bullying" someone, in their efforts to assist future readers.

But I am only a newly promoted Matrix Trooper.

I see nothing bullying or "hostile environment" creating about what BBfanboy wrote. His words criticizing what you wrote were softer than your words criticizing the original poster.

Ok, I am beginning to think that rest/ training has no purpose. At Los Angeles on December eighth I set the 65th Coastal AA to no replacements rest/ training. I left the 78th at combat with replacements and combat. I sandboxed it to the middle of March. Moral and experience both increased at the same rate. Note: Experience will not go up until your " set future objective" is 100.

The bolded is not entirely correct, it was changed in a patch to:

33. Army experience being gained when not 100% prepared as per manual; changed to allow
chance to gain experience if >75% prepare and < 50% national exp level

As was explained earlier, rest does not impact experience gains but it does impact the rate that disabled devices recover, be they squads or equipment. New units usually come understrength and when they start filling out the missing devices, the new arrivals are often in disabled state. In Rest/Training mode they can come to readiness faster than in combat mode.
And as Alfred pointed out, new troops decrease the experience level so experience gains are not noticeable while TOE is being filled out. Very few things in this game are dependent on single factors, so trying to calculate exactly when things will happen is difficult.

I am little confused on this one. When I sand boxed it I didn't see any increase in experience until " set future objective" hit 100.

I was under the impression that one of the main reasons to rest was morale recovery in units.
Not so? -or just not all that important?

I did not see moral improvements in my sandbox. Or should I say rest training was not better than combat for my units in my sand box.

Indirectly that can happen. Morale seems to depend in part on the combat-ready % TOE of the unit, so resting to fill out or recover disablements will gradually raise morale. And just being in a bigger base with lots of supply seems to bring up morale, although that could be connected to recovering disablements too.

To see the % TOE for units in a hex, click on the flag at the bottom left to bring up the list of units, then on the top right of that list click on "Show Soft" . If there is only one unit there, I don't know how you can get its % TOE unless you use the ALL LCUs button at the top of the game map and find the unit on the list.
