In Sunday school when I was 8 or 9 they always prayed for "our boys in Korea". My dad was one of them, so I couldn't understand calling them boys.
Government does this, use the terms boys, to suggest or imply they are all of our children...How about “girls”?
Next war, draft women since they demand equality, but FIRST lets demand all the super wealthy, the Senators and Congress people have their kids join up FIRST to serve on the front lines, as an honorable example of course...
