^You bastard, I was going to use that exact pic for an avatar once I got deeper into the show. I should have know you'd read my mind and steal it.

Actually I think Merkatz give an interesting explanation for this in episode 22. Basically he says that a lot of the nobility is suffering from the disease of 500 years of privilege.
Apart from that, I was gripped by Reinhard and Kircheis' past. That reminds me to check out the OVAs for elaboration on that
You are exaggerating greatly here. ;)Yeah, just think about the sheer SCALE of the battles. They are commanding armies that dwarf the population of Earth! One of those battleships is carrying hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

A battleship or even a carrier certainly carry no more than 5000-10000 soldiers, which are still many lives, though.
I think it is good that LotGH doesn't skimp with the number of casualties, as in a full out war with somewhat equal opponents battles usually are very bloody.
Aw man, I can't believe.]Seigfried died
The 2 additional OVA's deliver quite a few interesting stories about Reinhard's and Kircheis' ascension in the hierarchy of the empire (like the 'Mutineer' and 'Retriever' arcs) which are highly recommended; the stories for Yang aren't that good.
Even though it wasn't said explicitly it does seem like there would have been a lot of ethnic cleansing going on as well. Rudolf did specifically promote all Germanic whites to positions of power and I don't think it would be out of character for him to promote Hitler like ideas of racial purity during his purges. It would help to explain why there is exactly one black guy in the entire cast. Let's just say it Rudolf was just a more successful version of Hitler.
