Crisis War vs. Non Crisis was and impact on next generations
Posted: Mon Feb 23, 2009 2:08 am
I'm trying to better understand a Crisis War vs. a Non Crisis War and how they impact future generations, but I am having difficulty understanding why a a serious non-crisis war wouldn't lead to the same kinds of impact on society and it's members that a crisis war would have (and restart the generational process and how they are labelled).
Lets use a fictional war as an example (to avoid getting into details about any particular war).
If such a war was a crisis war for country A but a non-crisis war for country B, if many members of both countries die (eg. a historically high number), why would it make any difference on the social impact of country B? (crisis war or not).
The soldiers still come home never the same. What if many civilians died. They still saw things they would never want anyone to experience again having gone through the experience themselves. They are still as traumatized as could be. Why does their willingness to go into the conflict (or support it) have anything to do with it's impact on future generations?
Why doesn't the whole generational process start over again? (assuming it was a serious non-crisis war where many soldiers and civilians died).
