>>The average Brit has no idea, and is crestfallen to learn the U.S. suffered more casualties than Blighty in WW2.

Total British population 1940: appr. 48 million

Total US population 1940: appr. 140 million

Proportionate to population, the Brits lost almost 3 times as many men in WW2 as the US.

3 times as many by population?? Totally irrelevant! Besides, how many of those "British" casualties were actually Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, South African, Indian, Gurkha, or some other "colonial" troops? We didn't force "colonial" nations to do our fighting. I realize that leftist asses like this guy are only trying to be insulting to Americans, but I'd still like to give that sissy the 3 Stooges treatment.
