Send directionless men to the front lines? Come home a hero or in a box.

That's certainly a dark thought on a sunny afternoon. Yikes!

I mean it was a way to grab land and resources too.

The UK’s government during WWI purposely deployed young men from towns where opposition parties were more popular to more dangerous parts of the Western front to kill off political opponents.

No.
World war one caused Britain to lose a generation of young men.
The world wars created a different meaning of war.
I don't think people can imagine the horrors that were seen in world War 1. I mean now days some millennial can suffer from ptsd because of being misgendered.
Trench warfare was simply running straight into machine gun fire.

But it is a good way of reshaping perspectives.
If the draft and conventional war was on the horizon, how do you think the tranny stuff would go down? Safe spaces? Critical theory or DEI? Egality sans effort?

Robert McNamera kind of thought so with Project 100,000.

The modern version of this is preventing people from getting their hands on Ivermectin during Covid.
There were first hand reports of the USPS intercepting shipments.

The soldiers use to get the spoils of war. Now they get trinkets, the tax payers fund the war and suffer the inflation, and everything of value goes to the top 1% who own the companies that go in behind to profiteer.

War?
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.

I had a professor in college who insisted that the Crusades were pumped up just to get meddlesome knights out of Europe.

Gives time to build up population of fighting age boys/ men

Before the Pope sent them all off to fight with the Byzantines the knights were fighting with commoners. It's probably not too far off the mark.

It depends on when, and which war you're talking about, but yes, absolutely.
It's also what the colonies were for. All the way back to Roman times.
