I’m not disputing this. However, the minimal loss of life in these two engagements, by comparison to WWII and Nam, are worth remembering.
Then again, the collonade at the Seoul museum, which used to be their defense building complex, is covered, literally covered with plaques of the dead on these huge columns on three sides. Now, IIRC, the one side is for NK troops, but to see the bronze placques with the names of the American & SK dead makes you stand back in awe.
We lost over 50,000 men and women in Nam, too. 50,000+. And in WWII, I don’t even remember the numbers for D-Day. That our fighting forces have been able to avoid such carnage on these tight budgets for Iraq & AfgPak is a real blessing to us all.
If we think about all those faces in photos and videos that we see of our best and brightest, many of whom died in these wars, and realize all those people died in our names and for our futures—handing over the dirt and economic might of the country in whose name they fought to anti-American, un-American ingrates who sell us into servitude, foreign, foreign-born, or domestic, makes us accomplices. We’re to the point of not being worthy for them to wipe their shoes on, or, as Patton said, to use our guts to grease the treads of their tanks.
Shame. For shame that DC and its treasonous ba$tards & dykes think there is no day of judgment.
D-Day I believe cost 20,000 casualties, although that includes Brits and Canadians too. The alarming thing is that the generals at the time considered that to be on the low side of their casualty estimates.
