"In all the human societies we have ever reviewed, in every age and in every state, there has seldom if ever been a shortage of eager young males prepared to kill and die to preserve the security, comfort and prejudices of their elders, and what you call heroism is just an expression of this fact; there is never a scarcity of idiots."

note the use of the term "males" - an attempt to give this claim a socio-biological gravitas it doesn't really deserve

hmm, wow. I don't know, really if I could get this dim light to shine through past conflicts (such as wwI or wwII) but, hey--live in the now, right?

Its more to do with the past exclusion of females, with any "manly" or "warrior" parts of society. It's changing but slowly.
