I keep hearing people make this comparison. I'll bet any of them dollars to donuts that these Wolverine, etc. potshots were on a minor scale compared to the current bloodletting of Americans in Iraq.
I have a very simple question which can prove this case one way or the other: how many American troops were killed by post-war guerrilla action in Germany? As long as that question remains unanswered, this comparison will properly be dismissed as fallacious.
BTW, please do give me the "do you our research" runaround routine. I have. I called the Center for Military History (the chief federal military history agency) in Washington and they think this comparison is bogus.

Thanks a million for this post. Will use it in a Letter to the Editor I feel compelled to write.
