[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I'm still not convinced that the Dorvan V case is representative of the DMZ situation in general. Dorvan V was in what was unequivocally called "Cardassian space", whereas nothing really established that all of the DMZ would be "Cardassian space" (or even that Dorvan V would be in the DMZ at all - for all we know, it was actually on the far side). And to comment on a comment on the previous page, "a war that claimed billions of lives" sounds a bit dubious. It could just as well be that the UFP side lost less than a million people. After all, we never heard of orbital bombardment, and the few planets captured by the Jemmies might have been treated just as civilly as Bajor was. Jemmies are unlike real-world soldiers in the respect that they don't have an inborn yearning for atrocities... Somehow, the Cardassians did end up losing millions of troops. Perhaps they were in the receiving end of orbital bombardment, while nobody else (least of all Cardassian civilians) was? The total death toll without those killed on Cardassia Prime could well stay below ten million. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
