      maybe its easier to con the young into dying with ideas of ‘valour/ honour/ pride’’ ? talk to any 30+ about doing anything dangerous/ killing himself for ‘honour’ and they’ll ask you to demonstrate it first.

        Yeah in terms of “alright you grunts so take that hill!” usually they want that followed by crazy hu ra yelling and going up the hill as opposed to something like “nah. now is not a good time.”

      Speaking as someone older than that, there’s far less reason/pressure to submit to authority when you’re older.

      And far more likely that officers would get fragged if they were cavalier with soldiers lives.

      Note: I’m not talking about professional soldiers that are older, but conscripts.
