Re: NATO rapid-response unit proposed (4.00 / 3)

Civilian deaths and destruction in modern wars is far greater than the purely 'military' deaths. Think of the destruction during World War II - still on-going these many years later! - caused by aerial bombing of cities, transportation nexus, manufacturing areas, & etc.

when push comes to shove, if someone starts an insurgency against you, you very likely have done something very wrong.

Yeah. Like invading their country.
