The primal drive behind any modern war are economic interests of elites who fuel people with jingoism. And if you manage to survive, you come back and are left on your own.

5 sons?
That's not environmentally sustainable.
War is usually about the have-nots wanting stuff they haven't got.
Here's food for thought. Analysts are saying that the "Arab Spring" unrest/uprising was probably caused by food price hikes caused by a bad Russian grain harvest.
Now we have projected food price hikes caused by drought in the US.
Where's the next flashpoint?
Don't look at me for answers.
I'm in the majority, I don't have any.
I'm resigned to watching Nature cull the herd.
