I watched the clip. Not sure I could ever muster the authors enthusiasm for wars. Especially after seeing these numbers: http://hubski.com/pub?id=12242

Red Dawn will have to suffice for me.

Why can't I find the Second Congo War in this list? According to the wiki itself, by 2008, the war and its aftermath had killed 5.4 million people, mostly from disease and starvation, making the Second Congo War the deadliest conflict worldwide since World War II. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Congo_War

Got to say that the guy writes well about war and conflict, spent a few hours reading his work. Thanks to klein for posting it.

I spent a good amount of time there too. He's a good writer, his passion comes through loud and clear.
