Some of these numbers seem skewed, are they including opposing forces?

Normandy, over 29k

Yeah, but it lasted over four months.

That averages out to like 240 people per day.

No. Why do they seem skewed? There is a reliable source for every one. You can check it yourself.

It’s 29,000 over the course of 2 and a half months, not 4

It’s more like 340 basically. Higher than Okinawa average which would be 240

Battle ended in mid september. Three and a half would be more accurate.

Some if the numbers seem lower and/or higher than I recall.

If you include mid September then the death toll is 34,000 moron

June 6 to August 30=29,000 dead
June 6 to September 14=34,000

True. North Vietnam never won a battle against the American forces.
The failure of the Vietnam war was a result of South Vietnamese incompetence and corruption, and opposition to the war in the US.

such low numbers prove usa barely take part in ww2

when soviets and hitler collide there were 2 million bodies lying on the ground in matter of few months

Massive set piece battles isn’t our specialty—using massive amounts of air and naval power while fighting alongside allies to lower our losses is what we do. You can’t argue with the results.

user, you're not supposed to lose two million men in a few months.

Someone that finally understands. Now Vietnam is heavily capitalistic, we kinda won anyways.

The US Civil War had each side sustain more casualties than the US has ever suffered in any other war participated in, proving that the only thing more dangerous than an American is another American.

>needlessly sacrificing millions of prime infantry is a good strategem

Let’s be frank though, the clear majority of Confederate and Union military dead was from Sickness/non-combat related causes. As late as WW1 most American killed in wars was Disease related

They should add diarrhea deaths to that list. Our greatest enemy in war.

Maybe in the Pacific kek

We just had this thread yesterday. What's the point of having it again with the same responses?

this is the problem with /pol, sheeit most boards beat_a_dead_horse.jpg

your logic is retarded, killing more is winning the war? Remember that most of the fights are fought between the Viet Cong and South Vietnamese Army. Look up their casualties. US were there to mainly support and provide intelligence as well as training to the South. After the withdrawal of the troops, the South is pretty much done

More exposure

missing the daily Las Vegas calory-ridden all-you-can-eat buffet battles that cardio-killed probably more americans than D-Day.

>Us

You were never in the war faggot.

The last few Pacific battles were easily the worst. I read that something like 2 Americans died for every yard of territory taken. Also the pacific war was the only war since 1812 that was actually fought in Americans interests.

>our leaders treated their soldiers like literal cannon fodder, so therefore we win

America and Britain actually had legitimate strategies other than throwing as many bodies at the enemy as possible, that's why we didn't lose so many guys.

Germany is the only people that fuck us up more than we fuck ourselves up.

Partially wrong; the American dead per yard was way lower in Okinawa and Luzon than earlier battles like Peleliu, Guadalcanal and especially Tarawa. Otherwise you’re right

IMO for the conditions of the average soldier Peleliu was the worst battle in US history

Easy

Gettysburg.

Yep. Russia needs to not fight wars in such a sloppy way
