For comparison purposes:

The US went into World War II with an army of 2.2 million. Casualties totaled 565,861.

Your propaganda reeks of desperation. Sad.

Pooty Poot is turning off the lights in the Ukraine.

If You Survive: From Normandy to the Battle of the Bulge to the End of World War II, One American Officer's Riveting True Story

If you survive your first day, I'll promote you."

So promised George Wilson's World War II commanding officer in the hedgerows of Normandy -- and it was to be a promise dramatically fulfilled. From July, 1944, to the closing days of the war, from the first penetration of the Siegfried Line to the Nazis' last desperate charge in the Battle of the Bulge, Wilson fought in the thickest of the action, helping take the small towns of northern France and Belgium building by building.
Of all the men and officers who started out in Company F of the 4th Infantry Division with him, Wilson was the only one who finished.

[nickcarraway]

In that case the enemy killed those men, right? Russians killed their own nen.

[nickcarraway]

I am not a neocon, but I don’t think that word has any meaning anymore. But I’m not a globalist warmonger anti-American like you.

[nickcarraway]

If you think communist countries are better than the United States then why don’t you move there?

“The average lifespan of a Ukrainian mobilized recruit now is approximately 10 days — from the time he is grabbed off the street to the time he falls on the battlefield.
Foreign mercenaries—which by and large have become regular Polish and Romanian (and other NATO countries’) troops masquerading as “volunteers” — loath the idea of being used as cannon fodder and behave as regular colonial expeditionary forces.”

Ukrainian military expert, Oleg Zhdanov, said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have nothing to attack Kherson
“The Ukrainian army is suffering huge losses. There is a shortage of personnel, insufficiently mobilized, a shortage of military equipment.

Pooptin has been trying to do that for months now. Each time the Ukrainians get the lights back up in a few days to a couple of weeks

Nick is neither communist nor a neocon.

The true number of Americans killed in WW2 has never actually been tabulated but some figures put it at around 407,000.

[PIF]

one has to cast doubt on the numbers here as the DNR/LNR are both run by Russian officers, not known for their truthfulness. Case in point: the officers sent the DNR/LNR troops on frontal charges, aka suicide attacks, against well fortified UA positions, they were slaughtered, and their bodies left were they lay rotting. They were never counted or accounted for - no one cared.

At some point, much later, if the UA had taken the ground, UA took the bodies away for burial. One has to suppose that if the UA did not take the ground, the bodies were bulldozed into mass graves bu Russian forces.

20,000 casualties is just a starter. DPR’s ombudsman: who only says what he’s told to say by the Russians.

[PIF]

407,000 is as close as one can get, given that bodies are not always in one piece and some were not even that ‘together’, if they were even found. Of the 407,000, the number of Army AF that were killed was 80,000.

That was a great book; read it years ago.

[jdsteel]

You must be new to the discussions about any article regarding the Russian/Ukraine war and the avid Putin supporters remarks and responses.

[UNGN]

At least since Russia started retreating enmass, Vodka infused commie BobL is isn’t ranting daily about the superiority of the Russian Army (not over Ukraine’s Army of software programmers and VW factory workers, but ALL armies).

[jmacusa]

The largest loss of American life in WW2 was during the Normandy Campaign from June 1944 though to the end of August ‘44. Some 29,000 men were killed, wounded or captured.

Have you ever been to the WW2 Memorial in DC?

I have. It’s beautiful.

Fun fact: In the Normandy landing in the first hour, 4,000 men were killed.
