I came across this piece on Scott Adam's blog and found it quite interesting. Thought others here might find it interesting too:

So if you are wondering how men become cold-blooded killers, it isn't religion that is doing it. If you put me in that situation, I can say with confidence I would sign up for suicide bomb duty. And I'm not even a believer. Men like hugging better than they like killing. But if you take away my access to hugging, I will probably start killing, just to feel something. I'm designed that way. I'm a normal boy. And I make no apology for it.
Now consider the controversy over the Syrian immigrants. The photos show mostly men of fighting age. No one cares about adult men, so a 1% chance of a hidden terrorist in the group – who might someday kill women and children – is unacceptable. I have twice blogged on the idea of siphoning out the women and small kids from the Caliphate and leaving millions of innocent adult men to suffer and die. I don't recall anyone complaining about leaving millions of innocent adult males to horrible suffering. In this country, any solution to a problem that involves killing millions of adult men is automatically on the table.
If you kill infidels, you will be rewarded with virgins in heaven. But if you kill your own leaders today – the ones holding the leash on your balls – you can have access to women tomorrow. And tomorrow is sooner.

Good luck with a draft now. The Government learned that lesson after Viet Nam. Oh, and no body counts on the nightly news either, especially civilian. Makes it easier to run seemingly invisible wars and keep a docile public.
Yep. So much easier to go to war when 95% of the population literally has no skin in the game. No mothers complaining to congress or using facebook to organize public protests. And the 5% who do have children at risk of dying in combat are the ones with the least political capital to spend on opposition to war.
