ABSTRACT

Changes of body, society, and mind mark war. Troop movements change cities and countryside. Advanced weaponry changes technologies. Consequently, industry is changed by the dictates of both. But most of all, people change; young people become soldiers and civilians become spectators. One group grows to maturity outside of the behavioral rules of the home front as the other sees the culture of that home front suffer its own modification. Transitions are endemic to war because, in declaring hostilities, nations forever leave behind the world for which conflict has been initiated.
