One of the losses the American Revolution caused to the British was they had to look for another place to send their convicts. They decided on Australia. I am not so sure that being descended from convicts is a bad thing, especially if they are coming from a corrupt society. It may be the reason the "Colonies" are more risk taking than the mother country. I think the fact we are descended from people who would steal bread rather than starve is a good thing. As for war, I have always been of the opinion that those that love it the most should get them most of it.
