Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

"Go it alone" wars aren't exactly hallmarks of national pride. If anything, they are usually imperialist excursions done for the purposes of furthering hegemony.

After taking into account things such as technological and numerical superiority, plus loads of $$$, and many other factors, it still takes most of the US Army to fight them. Not exactly "pwning."

I left those a bunch of small conflicts out because I'm sure Serb would not have regarded those as 'real wars' due to the greatly inferior enemies of those minor conflicts both in quantity and military quality.
