paul guthrie Posted 28 March , 2007 Share Posted 28 March , 2007 At the end of the article it repeats the so often made overstatement of American deaths as 116000, true from all causes but just over 50000 combat related. Thanks for posting this. There is one left in Kentucky Robley Rex, 105 I think and quite healthy, volunteers at the Louisville VA Hospital.

Roxy Posted 28 March , 2007 Share Posted 28 March , 2007 Paul, To be fair, the article does quote the following: 53,402: Americans killed in action 63,114: Americans died of disease and other causes Roxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
