You must have missed these guys!
Between 1914-1945 Europe lost forever its best genetic stock. Much of the remnant is pathetic. The best image of the decadence that remains was a picture in 2015 of a German male clad in a dress smiling broadly and waving a hearty welcome to the Muslim migrants walking unopposed into what had been Germany. Never again should brave young Americans die on their behalf.
“Never again should brave young Americans die on their behalf.”
Agreed.
We have pulled their fat out of the fire twice now.
If we go back we own whatever we take.
I would prefer we not go back at all.
I'm not a genetic expert. Could it be argued that the men who survive a war may have traits (intelligence, strength, cunning, strong immune system, etc.) that their perished brothers lacked? Also, as compared to the death of men, few women die in wars. Genetically, women carry forward the genetics of their ancestors - male and female.
I may be wrong, but I don't know that wars have killed off the "courageous" genes but rather men are being indoctrinated to believe a lie about themselves and men in general.
We could argue nurture vs nature in regard to the state of western men. I'm inclined to believe that nurture (anti-masculine indoctrination) is the bigger problem.
The Great War killed, on average, roughly 10000 men a day.
Every day.
Seven days a week.
365 days a year.
For over four years.
