I'm not sure what you are arguing? There's an entire generation of people (baby boomers) who were born post WW2 in a period of extremely high birth rates due to favorable economic conditions created by the war - minimal unemployment, economic expansion due to government spending, and increased spending on housing and education due to the GI Bill.

That's ancient history by demographic standards. Modern wars don't create baby booms. People en masse don't want more than 2 children. Dead people want nothing.
