@0177da18 @3967703f I always figured that must be what war is really for- build up too much surplus population, pick a fight with someone, draft that surplus & get them killed off. Problem solved.

*bonus points if you can go in together on the war with another country with the same problem- a friendly country to get unfriendly with 

 @77bbb2c3 @3967703f  It's  certainly easier to recruit fighters from people experiencing economic stress. And it is treating people as disposable.
