Humorist around the world blame the razel dazel costumes.

UP/AP/PP* press reports, circa 2052-62:

World Report: Desertions, as high as 80% in North American regions, 65% in Euro regions are no match for the 100% loss of military units in provinces of Russia and the Ukraine. Rumors of entire ammo dumps going “missing over night” are reported in at least 16 former nation states.
