One could argue that Vietnam would count as a protective war, as it was a fairly major proxy battle of the cold war. The Gulf wars and current conflicts though, I'm with you. Probably how the next few will be too, honestly. Wonder how long the US can keep it up, before someone else steals that power mantle from them.Vivi22 said:

It may not be right morally, but it will keep more of your men fighting.
In war morality is not the concern, but having as many of your men to eliminate the enemy.
At least today it's usually just prison sentences. Not to say I wouldn't get scared and desert as a soldier. But if you let one go free, 1000 will follow.

Well, Stalin is credited with saying: "One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic."
So it's not hard to accept that such a person would easily throw lives away en masse. Be it throwing them at the enemy with little hope of survival to shooting the soldier who fled because he didn't even have a weapon let alone the training. People who were more civilian than soldier.
