Most of the brave British men got killed off in WW2.
This is the spawn of what got left behind.

Can be said for much of Europe. There are few big, tall strapping men over there. Most are skinny, balding metrosexual Euro-weenies.
The butcher's bill for WWI in the UK was almost a million men dead - 3 percent of the total population. Plus almost 1.5 million wounded. Adult males comprised about 57% of the population of Britain in the 1911 census.
THAT was where the problem started. An article I read years ago in American Heritage Magazine observed, "I knew that all Mum's sweethearts but Dad died in the Great War, and all Auntie's . . . but it didn't hit home until I saw Tyne Cot (the largest British WWI cemetery in Europe)."
