"That is as many fatalities in a single day, in a training exercise, as the U.S. has lost in the entire Iraq War.

The American media in 1944 did not use those deaths to try to make the American Home Front believe that America was in a quagmire and was losing the war.

The greatest weapon that America's enemies have today is the American liberal news media."

Dittos on this... the cost of war was far heavier in those days.

Same could be said for many other WWI or WWI or Korea battles. Chosun cost USA 9,000 lives. And yet we didnt bug out, we stayed 3 years and saved south korea again... Or Tawara, a useless piece of insignificant coral on the way to Japan. What was the death toll there? hundreds?
