Jul 26, 2008 - well, if you choose to look at it like that, then the same can be easily applied to the figures from D-Day, too.but you're right. WIA didn't necessarily mean you didn't eventually die from your wounds.
Vexis525 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - the figures vladimir and ebtricks gave referred to the entire Normandy campaign, in which over 150,000 ALLIED (not strictly American) soldiers were W/KIA. The Germans suffered the same amount.and while 73,000 landed on D-Day, more landed on D+1 and D+2, etc etc.

Jul 26, 2008 - Re: "LITEBRITE65: Germany declared war on the United States. That is why we were at war with Germany."WRONGUSA declared war on Germany, as did Australia, NZ, UK, and Canada.Educate yourself!

Jul 26, 2008 - Erm.. why are photos of World War 2 posted from 1944 if you said this was 2007? Wait.. we got stronger and more advanced AFTER WW2? I don't get that whole part.. please explain?

Jul 26, 2008 - seems like the video is more commenting on the modern media rather than the status of our military

Jul 26, 2008 - Not getting it. That reporter in the beginning didn't seem exactly shocked by the thousands of dead bodies in the water, the men being blown up, and the soldiers unable to leave their boats without being riddled with bullets. Not exactly realistic.
Jamo28hhh Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - Actually, YOU need to educate yourself.It goes like this:A. Japan attacked the United States on Dec. 7th, 1941.B. The United States declared war on Japan on Dec. 8th, 1941, as did Great Britain.C. In response, Germany and Italy, allies of Japan then declared war on the United States on Dec. 11th, 1941.

Jul 26, 2008 - In a way i agree. i think everyone should learn to honor their enemies when they die for their country. We (The US) fought for our country and Allies, same with the British, Canada, France, Russia and etc. The Germans, Italians, and Japanese fought for what they believed like us. Except for the allies and enemies that are pshycos or fools. We should keep in mind that we shouldnt blame all of the Nazis, Italians, or Japanese Soldiers. We should blame their "Fathers". Hitler, Tojo and Mussolini.

Jul 26, 2008 - but think of what Hitler would have now look around in wiki and you will find weapons that fill they were put into massporductson(sorry i misspeled that) they would have ended WW2 for good and may have full filled Hitlers 1000 year Nazi rule. But hitler would be dead by 2007 anyway.
Dnova16 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - haha ur right. if u look at all of the secret weapons the nazis and japanese were planning to produced, im sure we would hav big trouble wit them

Jul 26, 2008 - Around 73,000 Americans landed on D-Day with 83,115 mostly British and other nations. Are you saying that everyone who landed was shot? Or that Americans that landed were each shot twice? Please Clairify.
