Apples and oranges, an amazingly flawed and poorly thought out example.
You’re comparing 100s (sometimes thousands) to a crew of 3-5 people… as if that’s even nearly the same thing.
Plus you’re ignoring the whole motopool behind the tankcrew too, and the supply team with them. The mechanics and logisticians, cooks and even water boys…
And even those two things aren’t comparable. Wheras a “waterboy” in a motopool might have to worry about being directly attacked (and be prepared to defend themselves). Ship maintainers will never have that happen… there’s no scenario where suddenly the ship’s water engineer is picking up a gun to murder people; even in defense…

Pit crew for the murder machine are all still murderers
