Well, this is just a thought. It need not be taken seriously.

One, it was at least a year and over a thousand Americans were killed in post-war Germany. It was only after Truman told Adenaur to get the mess straightened up that it stopped.

Incidentally, we have been German and Japan since before 1945. Oh, we have been in Korea since 1950. That's over 50 years by my count.

We have been in Kosovo since 1991. We were only supposed to be there for a year, I thought. That's the longest year that I have ever witnessed.

We will be in East Asia for a long time to come.

That's interesting.

Do you have a source for that statistic, or was it an educated guess?
