The missing generation.

IMHO, as I read TMP, I see more of a "teach a man to fish" mentality. Finding those that have needed skills and preserving those skills. A civil engineer now is probably more useful that a potential one.

IF you go with the later war date of 2017, and the advancement of computers and storage devices, I can see more and more effort being put into preserving knowledge.
