One of the big realizations from World War Two was that plans that involved civilian bombing to "break the spirit" of an enemy population had the opposite effect. Since the bombing only killed a small percentage of the population, the surviving population felt almost euphoric. This reminded me of two quotes: "There is no better feeling than having someone shoot at you and miss!" - Winston Churchill "Combat isn't where you might die -- though that does happen -- it's where you find out whether you get to keep on living. Don't underestimate the power of that revelation. Don't underestimate the things young men will wager in order to play that game one more time." -Sebastian Junger This will probably also lead to a wave of euphoria once COVID-19 has passed on.
