Someone stated, during the recent riots in London, one terrible consequence of war.
Too many of our best and brightest men fight our wars.
They cannot be replaced. Think on the impact on society?
Who will the women marry? Who will father the children?
Who will take charge of the nation?
This is not to insult men to do not fight, but to think on the great loss to the whole nation for all those men needed and gone.
Trace the downgrade of the nation, any nation, and society after a war.
During WWII women went to work and nothing has ever been the same.
The law of unintended consequences.
