While watching the reruns on CSPAN it was a Genereal in the Army Reserves giving a speech,at Arlington, about why memorial day was important and giving out statistics of different items. However She gave out one odd Statistic that said 1.2 million American Soldiers have lost thier lives. This seemes a little odd,I figured it would be a bit higher especialy when you add in the Civil War. Anyone else know anything about how many have actualy died?
