These items turn a crappy little scuffle into a real war. Take a look through history. Go back to at least WWII and see what role these elements play. All of them have been deeply involved in a war just as much as soldiers. Inescapable conclusion.
One of the better books I have ever read was about the shenanigans going on as Germany fell in WWII, looting, hoarding, revenge, etc., and not just by the US or allied forces. There were survivors and then there were a few of the natives that were well positioned as “peace” came. Therein lies the lesson.
