There were more than 400,000 Americans killed in World War II.
That is a lot of gold stars. I bet that more than 100,000 Americans were killed in the last six months of the war, from the start of the Battle of the Bulge until Okinawa was secured.
I’d bet you’re right. Just under 25,000 were killed in those last two campaigns you mentioned.
When we think of WWII, spare a moment for our allies too.
1.3 million Chinese soldiers, between 17 and 22 million civilians.
14.5 Soviet Union military casualties, between 20 and 35 million civilians. Soviets lost over a million 2nd lieutenants as they destroyed 80% of the German Army.
Soviet peoples paid a heavy price for Stalin’s deal with Hitler.
Isn’t it odd that Progressives would criticize Bush about those killed in Iraq, when FDR used American lives for cannon fodder?
