That took 14 years. Next on the horizon is WWI, with 53,000 combat deaths. We should pass that in about a week. The fact that people are playing politics with this sickens me. BTW, the reason that gyms are among the businesses that are being allowed to reopen in some states is some lobbying by some very rich people. Better my customer die than I lose money |

Without looking at the latest data, I'd guess we're averaging a 9/11 every two days.

I was referring to combat deaths. There are lots of other deaths in a war including disease, accident, etc.
It was just a way of saying almost 50,000 dead is a lot of people.

Just a flu, bro. Just a flu. Remember, Vietnam wasn't a war, it was a "police action"; so those weren't combat deaths, just deaths in the "line of duty", walking the beat in another ghetto. |
