Mason,
No you did not say that. I got the figures off the American military Cemeteries in Europe.. That just covers the European front.. But there is the navy, marines in the Pacific plus other Army and airforce units. I confess that I do not have the exact US figure.. I just quoted the figure on that Web site. If that Is the figure that you got.. Then since I really do not know the total, then I accept your figure.
As for the Russian casualties, I will accept that too.But the Russians are responsible for a lot of their own casualties. Stalin Murdered his whole General Staff, he sent millions to Gulags, and Mental institutions..He went hand in hand with Hitler attacking Poland from the east while Hitler attacked from the west.
Mason, meaning no disrespect to you.. I stand by my statements.. Although,you are right..We would have lost more men the other way.
But just try to imagine if we talked like this in Russia.. We would get a bullet behind the neck, or have our Borscht spiked with Dioxyn..
Again Mason Chill out. This was good to get this out of my system.You served your time in NAM, so you have every right to express yourself.
