Does this have to do with nuclear armament? Build nuclear weapons to defend against nuclear weapons? But by creating them, it makes it more likely that one will be used? One will go off? | ||

Lots of "natural" disasters occur because of man-made interferance... particularly gas explosions (one just happened in Tacoma) Politics / Government / Military This one? Are you refering to the Military? Politics? Government? If military, does it have to do with weapons? Training? Attitude? With regard to the enemy? To prisoner? To local nationals/civilians? | ||

Lots of "natural" disasters occur because of man-made interferance... particularly gas explosions (one just happened in Tacoma) Politics / Government / Military This one? Are you refering to the Military? Yes Politics? Government? These are difficult questions to answer... the danger itself is that they could be killed in battle, and the chance of that would depend on pretty much all of those factors, so I'll answer based on which ones are relevant to why it would become more likely If military, does it have to do with weapons? No Training? No Attitude? Yesish With regard to the enemy? No To prisoner? No To local nationals/civilians? No | ||

Is this with regards to the recent "War on terror" where preemptive strikes were made to sort of 'prepare for the worst', but this possibly multiplied the pockets of dissension, posing an even bigger threat for the future.. | ||

Yes, I think so are "they" the military? Yes | ||

they - the entire army? the US army? the army of a particular nation? the armies of more than one nation? Is a particular battle relevant? Did they make the battle more likely to happen? or themselves more likely to die if it did happen? did they spend money in preparing for the worst? time? effort? | ||

Were they in their home country? in another country? international territory? is the preparation offensive? defensive? were they under attack? could they have been attacked? did preparation involve any equipment? or was it just planning? Did only the commanders prepare? | ||

So the military improved their morale which may have made it more likely to get killed in battle? is it general morale boosting that would have led to the vulnerability issue? or a specific aspect of something they did while raising morale? | ||

would they be more likely to be killed because: they'd act more recklessly? act differently in some other way? some of their equipment would malfunction? they would be easier to find for some reason? Would they be more likely to be killed in battle by: enemies with guns? enemy bombing raids? enemies with swords? with bow and arrows? by friends fire? | ||

is propoganda relevant? lies? was something relevant said to the troops to boost their morale? would the troops have been aware that someone was trying to boost their morale? is medication relevant? intoxication? anything physical? physiological? psychological? relevant? is there a relevant situation that lead to a need for morale improvement? or would any conflict/battle do? | ||

is intoxication relevant Yes! Spoiler While I was at a Renaissance festival listening to a demonstration on medieval fighting, they told me that the day before a battle, soldiers would party and celebrate because of all the heroic deeds that would happen on the battlefield (also, many of them would be dead the next day anyway). I thought that this might not have been a good idea, because is the soldiers had a hangover from partying then they might not fight as well. |
