Compared to WWI and WWII and other war battles counting into the thousands of casualties during a single day.

32 isn’t huge the liberals have push this no casualties idea to weaken us not make us stronger.

It has nothing to do with liberals.

The documented statements, opinions and lectures of General MacArthur, General Patton and many other brilliant military strategists are in disagreement with you.

My Marine infantry company in Vietnam over the course of a three week operation had 40 KIA. Out of the 243 men we started with, 90-95 returned to base.

Most of our losses were either wounded or medevaced with malaria, dysentery, etc. But we did have 40 men killed.

However, during one day’s firefight we killed 83 NVA.
