I hear all the time about how many military deaths we are having, how it's too many and we have to quit soon for that reason. Knowing military history, I know that the number is relatively low in comparison to past US Military conflicts. Not that any deaths are OK or acceptable. My heart goes out to the families of our fallen heroes. So I wanted to build this page to list as many significant battles/events since WWII as I could find to compare to. I created a database and currently have 136 events entered and listed below. I start on December 7, 1941 with the surprise attack of Pearl Harbor and cover WWII, Korea, Vietnam and current statistics of The War On Terror. War is an inevitable result of humans living together on the earth. There are bad people in this world. We see them all the time, criminals. Some of these scum around the world get power, money, maybe a country and weapons. Talking to them will not change their minds, they see that as one of our weaknesses for them to exploit. Talking only influences the weak or moderate "want to get along with everybody" crowd. Our enemies are not those types of people. Talking won't stop them. Neither will the U.N. It's up to America.

If America had acted in the 1940s like it's acting today, we'd all be speaking German. On D-Day, June 6 1944, we had been at war for more than 2 ½ years. Accurate numbers are hard to find but anywhere between 1,500-4,500 US personnel died and over 10,000 total casualties on that one day alone. Over the next 6 months we had over 60,000 dead and more than 175,000 wounded in Europe. During the same time in the Pacific, we had over 12,000 dead and 30,000 wounded. A staggering total of 72,000 dead and more than 200,000 wounded American warriors in just six months. Now that's a high price! Wasn't that getting too costly? I'm sure Germany and Japan would have talked about peace with us if we had just talked to them and asked. Hitler was already trying to secure a peace with the western allies. We didn't and he still almost got an atomic bomb before we could defeat him. If he had succeeded, he would have made the world capitulate. Today it's no longer a choice of surrendering, it's a choice for survival. During the Cold War neither us nor the Soviets wanted to die. We see nuclear weapons as assured mutual destruction, it's a deterrent. That's why it was called the Cold War. Now our new enemies want the bomb just to kill us. They don't mind sacrificing their own son's and daughter's as bombers. Just think if they could give them a nuclear bomb instead. Some of the them believe that their saviour won't return until we've been destroyed. We must win or die! America needs to grow a spine and stick to what needs to be done. Sometimes doing what's right is hard work. Keep up your faith in our brave warriors and let them complete their missions to defend us. Anyway, I hope you find this information useful. We need to remember history or we're bound to repeat it.
