“About 650 Catholic World War II and Korean War veterans die every day. That translates into 950,000 in the last four years. Add spouses and the number may easily have hit 2 million...”
Someone is either quite bad at math, or there are quite a few 90 year old polygamous Catholics.
I’ll vote for writers being bad at math.
650 * 365 * 4 = 949000. You could throw in another 650 for leap year.
Now yes, some are single, and there might be some couples that both served.
Or do you think the number is not right?
16 million in WWII, 5.7 million in Korea. Some have already passed. Some served in both wars.
