No worries, but I meant more in prevailing amid the wars of history. I guess maybe its presumptive to assume everyone has a veteran of some war somewhere back in their family tree, but likely they at least have ancestors from peoples who were under threat from another people at some point, be it European colonial powers, the Romans, the Ottomans, the Samurai, the warring clans in China (to say nothing of the Mongols), etc. Human history is a history of warfare. Those who remain are those who prevailed through it to pass on their lineage.
