Abstract
Without people, there are no conflicts to be fought. Unless people are able and willing to fight to defend their cause then the conflict will have come to an end, or never started at all. The skill sets that people have will contribute to the war effort in different ways, so altering the volume of people willing to assist in the war effort must not be the only consideration, as the strategic advantage held by each side in a conflict will depend on the specific skills and knowledge available.
