Reply #26: Has anybody hear ever heard of Normandy? [View All]

My dad did. He was there. He saw a couple of thousand killed within the first 20 minutes of the invasion. I don't mean to belittle these six American deaths, but these numbers really are a drop in the bucket compared to what we went through in WW2. It's unfortunate, but fatalities are the price of war, folks. I guess I find myself thinking 'thank God we've only lost a few hundred' since this thing began. Eisenhower would have been most grateful if he'd only lost a few hundred in six months. Think about it.
