In the days when you had to march for weeks carrying all your
stuff with you and after weeks of marching finally fighting the
opponent in hand to hand combat, young and fit made sense.
But now war is a technological thing, hand to hand combat is a
thing of the past. You get flown in, Catering right behind you , forking out hamburgers and other goodies at base camp.
You drive round in vehicles, infra red telescopes, a.s.o.
The days of the bayonet are over, 'older' people would often do
just as well.But they don't !!, youngsters with their whole life ahead of them die. It seems utterly unfair.
Is it a cultural thing ?. are settled people over a certain age utter cowards
protecting their interest just shedding crocodile tears?.
Happy to chicken out because war is a youngsters job ?.
