Would the US survive another Exercise Tiger which was a practice for the D-Day landings in which 946 Americans died?

A perspective on war casualties;
* In 1945, we suffered some 6o,000+ casualties over an 82 day slog on Okinawa.
* On June 1,1916, Great Britain launched an offensive at the Somme in France. On the first day, Germany inflicted 63,000+ casualties on Britain and that offensive lasted 5 months!

I had no idea about this war tragedy.

Thank you for not letting them be forgotten.
