"Buford Pusser was a high-school football and basketball player and was 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 m) tall. He joined the United States Marine Corps when he graduated from high school. His service ended during his United States Marine Corps Recruit Training, when he was given a medical discharge for asthma." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buford_Pusser
He was just a naturally BIG and intimidating guy that wanted to stand against crime and bad people.
https://www.youtube.com/user/BufordPusserMuseum/videos
"Pusser died on August 21, 1974, of injuries sustained in a one-car automobile accident..." "Earlier that day, he contracted with Bing Crosby Productions in Memphis to portray himself in the sequel to Walking Tall. That evening, returning home alone from the McNairy County Fair in his specially modified Corvette, Pusser struck an embankment at high speed that ejected him from the vehicle. The car caught fire and burned." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buford_Pusser#Death

Therefore, if any cities or nations are destroyed, it's from a much higher level of people. Not just the military, but an overall power structure.
So if the entire world or even just part of it is destroyed, it is as a result of the power structure wanting to take that course of action.
