I think you may have the wrong number,in past american war's the casuality ratio is something on the order of 750-800 to one. In short if we take 3000 the whackies will take ________. you do the math.
We lost 47,000+ lives in the Vietnam War. With a 750:1 ratio, that works out to 35,250,000+ people we killed in that war. Not likely.
