About the Conflict[]

The NPO-Jarheads War, sometimes called simply The Jarheads War, was a military that began in late February 2009 due to dubious (and later claimed to be fabricated) logs given to IRON by disgruntled ex-Jarhead MisleadRH. These logs alleged that Jarheads was deceiving IRON in order to get at their most powerful allies, the New Pacific Order, and bring them down, and also insinuated that Jarhead leader LordNightmare was a re-roll of the leader of DevilDogs (see also Reeducation of Devildogs). Therefore, the NPO was the first alliance to declare war.

The war would escalate quickly due to the use of recruitment videos on Youtube.com, bringing members of another gaming community in. The membership of Jarheads would skyrocket from 52 members at NPO's first declaration, to over a hundred two days later. At first, there were no aggressive wars declared by Jarheads, however after four days, the Jarheads began declaring aggressive wars in retaliation against the NPO and those alliances that joined them in the fight.

The most-spoken criticisms of this war (and its initial aggressors) revolved primarily around the number of alliances involved (the counter to this was that Pacifica lacked the number of nations in the low nation strength range that Jarheads predominantly sat in, that would be necessary to handle the fight on their own). Other criticisms included bringing up the incredibly slim likelihood of Jarheads' plan actually succeeding, as well as the fact that Jarheads were not the first to strike in the conflict.

Some would even question the logs themselves. On 9 March, this last group would find themselves supported by MisleadRH himself, who claimed that he fabricated the logs to get revenge on Jarheads leader Lord Nightmare for either being kicked out of his position for anti-NPO fervour (according to former alliance-mate Semper Fidelis) or for another undisclosed transgression (according to MRH).

On the flip side, Jarheads themselves were criticised for not having sufficient control of their alliance-mates, as a disproportionate number of nations would declare war on alliances that were not involved at all. This fact would even result in the ODN entering the war to protect their smaller nations, although their involvement was relatively brief.

After hitting a peak membership of 450 in early March, the Jarheads membership would stay at that level for a few days before beginning to shrink. In the following three weeks, they would lose nearly half of their membership, dropping to 243 members. They have, however, gained an ally. Micro-alliance "The Guerrilla Force," who had declared war on Jarheads on 2 March (see below), made the decision to switch sides at the end of March.

Now, the war continues primarily out of the exchange of aggressive declarations between NPO and her allies, and Jarheads and TGF, with the initial reasons for war having been all but disproven by their own author.

On 15 April 2009, Emperor Trotskys Revenge of NPO granted white peace to Jarheads, officially ending the war on the NPO's front, although several battles were still being fought, predominantly by NATO, DE, and IRON as of 18 April 2009. It should also be noted that The Guerrilla Force was still at war with NPO, however as of 8 May 2009, there had been no new declarations of war.

The status of this war is unclear, as the Karma War began without four alliances declaring an end to their war, of which only two (NATO and Invicta) officially ended their role in upon their surrender during the larger conflict. Since there are no official in-game wars between Jarheads and the two other alliances, it is most likely that, as of 13 May 2009, the war is over for all intents and purposes.
