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.

Bataan wasn’t an offensive operation...

We’re examining losses in the other end of the campaign, not losses from defending against the Japanese.
