1 in 13 soldiers Korean War
1 in 15 soldiers Vietnam
1 in 1500 soldiers Gulf War

But with the nature and location of this war casualties could go back to 1 in 15 soldiers or near that which was a possible 17,000 casualties

Makes me have a whole new level of respect for the soldiers fighting there

Still say he has to go, but after the gulf war, I never thought of the potential losses in those kind of numbers
fighting in an urban setting is much different than open space. thats where the casualties will come from. once they hit baghdad, the shit will hit the fan
