![]() "ArtKramr" wrote in message ... Subject: Why did Bush join the national guard? From: "Kevin Brooks" Date: 9/5/2004 1:09 PM Pacific Standard Time Message-id: "George Z. Bush" wrote in message ... Jack G wrote: OK Art, tell that to a combat Marine - face to face. If all that happens is he asks you where you fought - and then laughs in your face when you tell him you will be a very lucky man. Jack G. Just for the record, Jack, during WWII, the 8th Air Force sustained more casualties over Europe than the entire United States Marine Corps did world-wide throughout the entire war. If you don't believe me, just ask Google the right questions and they'll provide the same answer that I just did....I know because I've already done it. You must have done it wrong. "Half of the U.S. Army Air Forces' casualties in World War II were suffered by Eighth Air Force (more than 47,000 casualties with more than 26,000 dead)." (http://www.globalsecurity.org/milita...y/usaf/8af.htm ) USMC casualties for the war totalled some ninety thousand, out of some 669K who served in the USMC. Last I heard 90K was more than 47K. True, more 8th AF personnel *died* in combat than Marines, but that is not what you said. Your use of "casualty" is normally inclusive of wounded, deaths due to other than combat causes, and MIA. Brooks George Z. And exactly what is your combat experience wannabee? Marines? Air Corps? A desk in the states? Anything at all? I was born in 1962. A bit late for WWII, OK? Now, that said, the numbers speak for themselves--or are you going to say the old War Department statistics are all wrong? And for the last time--NOBODY wants to be you, OK? Who wants to become a sad, whining, bitter little twit with a serious self-esteem problem like the sorry excuse for a man that you have become? Brooks Arthur Kramer |
