17. The Tweet of the Week was a tweet that was retweeted. As I read hundreds of tweets about Memorial Day and what it means and what it should mean, this one made me stop and think. It comes from John Carvalho, a journalism professor at Auburn — “Think of these numbers today: Iraq/Afg--5,281; Vietnam--47,424; Korea--33,686; WWII--291,557; WWI--53,402. #MemorialDay.”
U.S. Civil War - 750,000
Even more astounding; more casualties at Gettysburg than all of the Vietnam War.
Chickamauga (what/where?) had more casualties than Korea.
