They say 2 generations need to pass between large wars reoccurrence on the planet. 1st generation that largely participated in the war will never do it again, whatever the cost. 2nd generation gets very strong message from 1st generation about true horrors of war, so it is much more careful. 3rd generation looses that direct connection and feedback from veterans, grandfathers, etc... so naturally they think of war as something that is minor inconvenience at best... And through the ignorance of 3rd generation - here we come. 80 years have passed since the last world war. Sadly, our time is up.
