But then I looked up WWII: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties#Total_dead
Sorry, not trying to hijack your thread, just thought it was an interesting post. Think about it, we have almost killed as many in the womb since 1973 as perished in WWII. Incredible.

Actually the point of this thread is that the World War involved more than the US.
Frank Buckles was the last WWI US Citizen to die. Actually there are still a few more vets from other countries still alive.
It the same when asked how many survivors were there at the Battle of Little Big Horn. The usual response is none as Gen Custer's entire unit was wiped out - BUT - most of the Indianians survived!
