One of the questions raised by low fertility is if the boys will fight when the time comes. The typical Japanese, Korean, Chinese, or Russian soldier is an only child, grown in a family where he is the adored, pampered treasure of elderly parents, in an aging adult society where the life of every child is precious. Will the State be willing to endanger and sacrifice its younger generation?
Russia is providing the answer. It is risking the lives of its soldiers in a foreign land, and Russian boys are obeying orders and fighting.
