Unrelated, but I saw this earlier today and thought it was incredible:

Total U.S. military deaths, 1775 to now: 1.35 million
French military deaths, WWI only: 1.36 million

The ratio of the total deaths to US soldiers is way too high for US soldiers.

Can't wait for the day when we tell Europe to GFY and deal with your own problems and that we are done playing international police force.

The Civil War stats on death/wounded ratio are amazing.
Lots of deaths vs. very few wounded. With the primitive medical care of the time if you got wounded you died.

Israel too, but we can’t talk about there here lest “small government conservatives” start quoting the Old Testement.

Israel is the most progressive, advanced, enlightened nation in the middle east.

It is astounding that someone like you, a secular scientific warrior, would shite on them.

The French weren’t always surrender monkeys. It’s just that all their good bloodlines died in WWI

I have no problem with Israel doing their own bidding. Not really even sure why they are our #1 ally TBH as we help prop them up with military arms so what are they adding exactly? Intel? Maybe. US using them as a proxy? Maybe.

An IQ of 75 makes you the smartest person in the special Olympics but it doesn’t mean you’re intelligent. Their economy and military are propped up by us.

They actively spy on us, steal our intelligence then use it to antagonize their enemies forcing our hand to give them more money, weapons, etc.

frick them, they’re a two timing parasite of a nation.

You see, the problem with you dumbasses, is that you look at the OPs numbers and assume that is all military deaths. That's called "cherry-picking" you information.

Now, I certainly don't blame GWB for the 9/11 attacks or our response. Just pointing out the ignorance of the OP. Obama and Clinton had significantly less military deaths than Reagan or either Bush.

Click the link below for total military deaths.
Which declined even further under Obama after 2011.

Apology accepted.
