This is a good point that I don’t think many Americans think about when we look at why our European allies do foreign policy. You had literally in WWI whole towns of young men wiped out in some places. Just imagine that for a second.

In Surprised by Joy, CS Lewis relates that only 3 of the 55 members of the class ahead of his (1916) survived the war. “The Somme consumed the rest.”
