I cannot claim to be an "advanced" student of military history; but it seems to me I can recall reading that disease has killed far more troops than have ever been killed by other troops.
Since the U.S.-British aggression destroyed the infrastructure required to provide fresh, clean water to Iraqi cities, the consequences are predictable.
Naturally the occupation forces are utterly indifferent to the fate of Iraqi citizens...but it will be interesting if American or British soldiers come down with the disease.
Something might be done about it then.
:cool:
