| One of the things that I heard when I was a
young Private in the Army was "always complain up the chain [command] and not down
it". |
When the 20th century wars
began, 80% of the casualties and deaths were those of the armed forces and only 20% were
civilians. By the end of the century, that had reversed: 80% of the casualties and deaths
were civilian and 20% were those in the armed forces. Now, only six years into the next
century, it's 90%-10%. 90% of the deaths and casualties are those of civilians. [Philip
Bobbitt, American Enterprise Institute, November 13, 2006, "The Wars on Terror" |
