"Despite Atlas deploying an entire army outside is borders and in another kingdom, actually fighting a battle in its capital with airlifted troops and airstrikes, you mean??

While hunters and huntresses "armed to the teeth" go on seek and destroy missions?"

The fleet Ironwood deployed in Vale is not attacking anything, though.

Like @Bespectacled said, security is over the roof but he isn't waging war against anybody.

The only battle Ironwood has fought was the brief Grimm invasion.

Neither is Ironwood invading Vale, as the council negotiated with Atlas and gave him authorization to deploy his fleet as security.

As for keeping soldiers on his frontiers, that's how you keep border control? Soldiers deployed within your own country, a reinforcement to police forces? The police and the military are the same? Soldiers do not solely exist to kill people. There is such a thing as deploying soldiers in places that have been affected by a natural disaster, an epidemy, some form of industral accident or neighbourhoods with violence indexes higher than average.

Saying hunters are waging war against the Grimm is like talking about waging war against Ebola or Climate Change.
