As an intuitive hypothesis born of
familiarity it is little wonder that an
insight into the male predilection for
conflict has its origins in the perception
of women whose child-bearing age is
behind them. The conundrum however
is thus: Is it the man in the boy or is it
the boy in the man that steers boys toward
the exciting challenges inherent in their
imagination of arranging toy soldiers and
their infantry and tanks and helicopters on
opposing sides in the mindset of take no
prisoners? Or is it the boy in the man where
anticipation is generated of superiority in
modern technology of laser-guided missiles
with the aid of artificial intelligence and
nuclear-powered submarines in the depths
of forbidden waters enabling protagonists
to play their never-ending games of war?
