[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] I'd imagine there were strikes on Romulan and Klingon targets by Dominion forces too....it's not like Gowron to admit defeat or the Romulans to show weakness of any kind to a potential advesary. Another thing to consider is that the federation has been at relative peace for a looong time: most wars were settled almost exclusively by starfleet and did not incurr casualties on Federation member-worlds: just colonies. Recall how shocked everybody was at the deathtoll from the Wolf 359 battle, and that was only 11,000. All starfleet. At casualty figures of 10,000 each week, there would be near hysteria among the general populace and crushed morale within starfleet itself. Add to that the shock of an attempted coup by Admiral Leyton and the temprorary martial law on Earth and the fall of Betazed to dominion forces and you've got a recipe for disaster. I agree that the war was shown on a limited view from the DS9 perspective. The Dominion was trying to show the unalligned alpha powers that they could rule in a benign way by using Bajor as it's example. All told, I'd imagine the total deathtoll was in excess of a couple- three million tops between the alpha powers - Not including the Cardassians. Oddly enough, the Breen were likely the big winners when it comes to losses (although their military strength is unknown and definitely far less than the major powers). I wonder if Benteen was cashiered out of Starfleet or brought back when the war stared going badly and starfleet needed everybody it could get? Anybody know if the [i]Lakota [/i]survived the War?
