Send the older generations then. Why should Gen Z be forced to pay the price of the previous governments' poor decision making? Namely, in Germany, nurturing a authoritarian regime by decimating green energy initiatives in favor of Russian oil imports. Russia would never have taken such bold action if Europe responded strongly no later than 2014.

That point of view was popular in the Interwar period (the 1932 film 'Broken Lullaby' is a perfect example).

It's an admirable attitude, but its popularity contributed to the outbreak of WWII.

Yeah this is perfectly rational and logical. Hard to argue.

Problem is, the other side (russia) will not be sending just the older generation.
