To put it in perspective, when Germany invaded Poland in 1939, it was considered a rout, yet the German casualty numbers were 8082 to 10572 killed, 27,278 to 30322 wounded and 3404 to 5029 missing. So even that "easy" victory came at a cost.

What's the relative size of Iraq and Poland, or France for that matter?

Since we've swept through Kuwait already in 90, and much of Iraq twice, how does the US Army/USMC compare (in speed, square miles per day, and casualties) to WWII?
