Hm... Historically speaking plunder and wreck (or at least a sense of violence) have almost always always gone together, in fact; for example, you would not say that we were being plundered by the government because of tax, or that "'the army plundered the land, not destroying much at all", or "my brother plundered the chocolate off me"... Or would you''? :-p
