LOL. This would be true until the supplies run out. What I meant by "it could happen in England and Europe" was; What would your civilian population do if your military was broken into factions and released upon the population with no government control, weapons, and a need to eat. I could see a 28 Days Later scenario occuring. How would your civilian populace stop it? Most of the fighting in Africa and the Middle East is based on the need for resources. In Somalia, the warlords would force cooperation from the populace by denying them access to food and water if they didn't "tow the line" for the warlord. I remember watching members of the 2nd MEU and the 24th Mechanized Division disarming land mines that the local clan fighters would put around the wells in the Moge. they would then leave a singular path to the well unmined and collect "Tribute" from the local population for water.
