Don't wish to nit-pick, as what you have said is timely,...but don't
forget
in WWII for example, approximately the same number of non-combatants died
compared to the German military. For a country by country breakdown, See:

War, is politics gone insane. Anyone who puts his/her life on the line for
their country or the elimination of oppression of free people, has my
un-ending respect.
Had an uncle at Gallipoli. He died in 1956. After his spouse died (Aunt),
dad sent all his uniform, diaries, badges etc, back to NZ, where his
family
is.
