Perhaps sending thousands of good men to die in wars before they have had children, isn’t such a good idea, either. So many young men were killed in both world wars, and I think it has to have an effect on society.
The US has been doing the same thing. Korea, Vietnam, and now fighting for ungrateful savages in the Middle East. How many people are we losing who never had the opportunity to pass their traits on to a new generation?
Nah, the problem started when the men gave women the vote.
This has also crossed my mind. Talk to combat veterans and a recurrent theme is that they kept “losing their best guys”.
Another Freeper pointed out that after England lost a massive amount of young men fending off the Nazis, they suddenly went screamingly liberal in a generation or two and pretty much stayed there. If that’s a coincidence I’ll eat my sandals - England has been staunchly conservative for centuries and before WW2 were still very much so.
By extension one has to wonder if the entire generations of men murdered under two world wars and then Communism might have something to do with their suddenly liberal stances.
