During the cold war days, NATO wasn't so bad. It was really the only thing that the free people of the earth could look up to. Something like Saruman the White or something. But then, the power of the ring corrupted it, and it began to form its armies....

I guess fog of war applies. What's worrisome is that nowadays bullets can travel further than the unaided eye can see. At least in olden days you knew who you were dismembering with your sword.
