“The next time FReepers refer to the French as “surrender monkeys”, or question their attitudes in WWII, remember that in WWI (the “war to end all wars”) they lost 1.7 million men. Our Civil War (in which both sides’ casualties were Americans) cost 600K.”
The French in WWI and the CSA in the Civil War each lost roughly 20% of their male population. That does not include the wounded, only the dead.

Do you think the Confederacy would have gone to war again in 1885? Would you call them “surrender monkeys” if they didn’t?
