Our young military personnel have always amazed me. The calmness under that type of stress is difficult to explain. I watch our pilots, flying at 400-500 miles an hour, and am amazed at the calmness in the cockpit. I was Navy when younger and the calmnes in performing a given function was the same. I guess a big thanks needs to go out to the drill instructors and the like. They teach our young how to control themselves in any situation.

Little Feat:

And you know that you’re over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can’t fill
Doin’ the old folks boogie
And boogie we will
‘Cause to us the thought’s as good as a thrill

This is a no-brainer. Of course young men are more suited for warmaking than old men, young women, and middle-aged ladies with a houseful of children. If there were no other obvious advantage, it's beyond question that young men are never pregnant.

The fact that we're even discussing this is a symptom of societal insanity.
