[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5293788, member: 24302"] Zube is saying that the men killed in the last 100 years of constant war has reduced the number of men willing to fight for the country considerably going forward as the men who died weren't able to pass along their genes that would impart that fighting spirit. I'm saying the total number who died weren't enough to affect the overall population to the extent he is saying. Not to mention due to the draft many of the men who died weren't exceptional warriors but were average guys who were fulfilling their obligation under the law. The only war we've fought that would've killed enough men to affect an entire generation was the Civil War. But those men soon got replaced by a huge surge of immigration. We discussed Paraguay recently. Imagine the U.S. being in a war that saw 90% of all its men killed as Paraguay did! We've never experienced anything close to that or the tens of millions killed that several countries experienced in WWII. [/QUOTE]
