“That is incorrect. 100K American lives were lost in the Pacific campaign, only 12K of which were lost on Okinawa, and a plurality of the losses in the Okinawa campaign were of Navy personnel, whose dead exceeded that of the Marines and the Army taken individually. American deaths from Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima, added together, exceeded the Okinawa death toll. This excludes, of course, the 10K killed during the Battle of Bataan, when American forces were on the defensive.”
Total casulties on Okinawa *alone* were 80k, per the previous chart. Well above those of Iwo Jima.
80K casualties is correct. But the dead accounted for around 12K. Bataan casualties were 30K. The dead came to 10K.
