There was a plaque on my hospital commander’s desk:

“Disease has killed more soldiers and decided more wars than all the bullets and bombs ever fired in anger.”

I believe it is a quote or a paraphrase though I do not know the source.

“Disease has killed more soldiers and decided more wars than all the bullets and bombs ever fired in anger.”

Possibly so. But a big letdown to military buffs.

An aside but I remember reading somewhere that maleria has killed approx. 1:5 people who have ever lived.
