cannon fodderAll smart a$$ed comments aside, what do you think China plans to do with its exploding population of unattached males aged 15-40?
I'll take "Military Invasions and Cultural Revolutions" for $1949, Alex.
cannon fodder im sure they will be traing extra hard for the olympics...
While it's easy to speculate that China would create an army out of them, I tend to think not. First, it would be ruinously expensive to build, and even more ruinously expensive to maintain an army like that.
Second, it's difficult to imagine China finding a use for them that doesn't end up causing more problems than it solves. Invade Russia or India? To what end?
Finally, the soldiers aren't robots -- they'd know that they're cannon fodder, and would eventually take umbrage.
No, my guess is that one way or another they'll all be used up in China's next civil war, to which this gender imbalance will inevitably lead.
They would be part of the gargantuan 200 million man strong army in the closing weeks of the great tribulation (the United States and Russia no longer existent), that would drive all the way westward from China to Israel wreaking destructive havoc, killing about 1/3 of mankind along the way.
By the time the 200 million man army reaches Jerusalem, the Lord Jesus Christ would slaughter the entire 200 million man army in the Slaughter of Armageddon, killing all the troops, cannon and missile operators and pilots, destroying their war material and then crushing the dead Chinese troops like grapes in a winepress.
