And so far we've suffered fewer combat deaths than these 1000+ killed in post war Germany. Fewer than 900 of the 1100 the MSM likes to harp on are combat casualties. The rest are accidents and illness. Leave it to the deceit-drenched media to lump them all together to come up with the rabble rousing 1000 killed benchmark so as to turn passions against the war.
On 6 June 44 we killed 900 Americans on the D-day invasion beaches in three hours of imprecise bombing. We killed 700 in a training accident 10 days before (drowned in the North Sea).
Our WWII combat veterans would marvel at our soldiers' good fortune today.
