Sergeant, General, President or Captain. The young suckers, who are mostly working class, are called Private, Infantry or Hero. A few really dumb, upper class leaders called 'Loutenants' are needed for some spice (ha-ha). These young boys are always on a great mission or cause, often for God, to save the day, the Fatherland or Motherland, little sister, the flag or the world. Whatever sounds good or popular at the time? These young suckers are baited by a chance to be welcomed into a state of full manhood, or to be no longer boys. Never are they offered much money. Young boys can be easily suckered by ruling mature men of any and all tribes and cultures, between the ages of twelve and eighteen. After that, the young door of stupidity quickly closes. In a few, short years these same men would simply laugh at the old men trying to talk them into mischief and will not listen.
The young women are of course also easy prey to being put into arranged marriages during these ages. To become breeders; but only if you raise them right. They are sold off to the highest bidder. To successful, mature men or their sons. This is the way of the world in most cultures.
Within a few years, both the young men and women mature and are much harder to fool. The old system has all but been broken down now by government schools teaching kids for years not to listen to their parents, especially and particularly, their Fathers. Also teaching against the bible and laughing at its 'sex only in marriage'. They teach rather to marry in more mature years and to just screw around for about ten years. By then, many are set in their ways and do not breed families at all, destroying the family system and lowering birth rates. This was the goal of humanist religion leaders in our government schools in the first place. In all of history, throughout all ages, in every tribe, older men have the younger 'bucks' charge across the fields while shooting at each other or stabbing each other with bayonets. The bayonet is the all time, cost effective favorite because it saves bullets. These young fools basically kill each other off for no other reason than their Father's monetary gain, or land. War of course, also gets rid of excess young bucks, this saving some breeding age women for second wives to older men.
If you think I overstate my point, let me say it plain and simple. None of these young boys fighting out in a field has ever had any real point or purpose. Their fighting, win or lose does not change the world or make any difference whatsoever, except to make the elite social class members money and to get rid of excess, unneeded and unwanted young boys. Only when 'warfare' is a money loser or is 'brought home', like with the bombing of cities, does the mature man talk peace. Yes, only when their butt is put on the line.
“What about the brave men at Normandy in World War II, Cornelius? Are you saying they were suckers, or heroes?” asked student Brenda Saunders.
“All suckers, Brenda” I answered. “We must be brave enough now, each of us, to face the truth.”
“Let us look at all American wars. All of them are boys fighting in a big field. What does that matter in the end? How could it change anything? You men go fight and see if anything changes. What if the revolutionary war had not been fought? It wasn't even popular at the time. OK, once from the beginning:”
“Just suppose the revolutionary war had not been fought. What if we had stayed with England? Are the people of England very much less free or different than Americans today? How about Canadians or Australians? Just imagine that first 'boys in a field' stupidity had not taken place, and then of course the War of 1812, also. How many extra young bucks would have been running around sowing their seed? Our main weakness now, in the West, compared to the slave camps in the East, is our under- population. When projecting economic and military power both India and China outnumber us
