Another way to read that is that many of the faint of heart are out of the way -- less to worry about collaborators, turncoats or soft leaks. Too, I'd like to see your numbers on how many fled to escape conscription vs those who fled to get children or elders out of a brutal war zone. You do have a good source or two, right?
