Casualties mean nothing man.
I've been in quite a few "real fights", I even restarted twice, so I know something about the warsystem.
I've been tripled several times, so once again, I know stuff.
all I was pointing out was that defcon isn't such a big deal. It mainly indicates your getting ready for the threat coming. It's not hard switching from defcon 5 to 1..
It requires no strategy, hence why I said it's irrelevant in a war.
So I may rest my case.
