Did you know that the British had made such sacrifices during the Napoleonic Wars?

[Julie07]

Historians estimate that, relative to their population, the British suffered as many casualties as in World War I, and that they borrowed on the financial markets the equivalent of three or four times the world's money supply at the time.

Its expensive to get those young kids to go into battle and die.

The insanity of the human race...

[Julie07]

The survival of Great Britain depended on it.

Doesn't sound genuine. The British lost 450 in the battle of trafalgar. 17,000 at trafalgar. 60,000 in Spain. The British army lost 400,000 at the some in WW1 alone.

You're having trouble with the concept of reporting to the population, aren't you?
