OK Art, tell that to a combat Marine - face to face. If all that

he asks you where you fought - and then laughs in your face when you

him you will be a very lucky man.

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.

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?

So you admit to your sniveling military cowardice. I thought so
