The Sea Battle Tomorrow

The soldier's operations in the field are often encumbered by the presence of civilians and considerations of 'collateral damage.'  The seaman's is a purer form of combat.  Ships far out at sea.  All hands combatants. No civilians to get in the way.  Less worry over environmental degradation.  The 'purity' of naval over land warfare.  Bellicosity in the realm of Neptune must breed a  brand of brotherhood among the adversaries not encountered on terra firma.
