Well the scary part is that sometimes the decrepit fool is followed by a youthful crusader who revitalizes it in blood and conquest that he’s actually capable of instead of just shitposting a war.
It happens. You see a lot in history vets of a lost war come home and become mercenaries or bandits or something similar and that capable individual has willing, experienced fighters to draw from
Best example is hitler. Bunch of WWI vets angry about defeat and formed literal street gangs. Peaky blinders isn’t entirely fictitious on that end. Thirty years war is another good example.
