Based on this Russia has almost lost half of its active personnel, but of course this is killed and wounded so some of the latter could return to the frontline. Ukraine's figure is probably inflated somewhat but still, even if it's as low as 500k or half-way between, that's still a massive loss...

The only lives I pity are the Ukrainian ones. The russians can go f*ck themselves. The Plagues of Egypt would be too kind for them. They aren't occupied by a foreign army, they are their own oppressors.

But those people have a choice, kill that KGB midget or commit suicide to keep him happy. We lost only 50 thousand plus in 10 years but that was with our hands tied behind our backs. We could have achieved total victory in a couple weeks, we had more than enough men and equipment in 68 to march into Hanoi and steal their rice bowls. We could never comprehend what to hell are those idiots in DC thinking. We weren't policemen as they love to call it. One thing we did learn at least in that era, our Generalship out classed them 100 to 1. The liberal scumbags tried to slide the blame onto Westmoreland for their lies and deception. To this day most liberals that still have any knowledge of the era think it was his fault when in fact he followed orders by that pig ass liar johnson. I'm one of the lucky few that survived the madness and to this day we still have ignorant people who like to end run congress calling acts of war a police action. George Bush and Son are also guilty of using our troops. People at the time had no idea George Bush Sr had massive personal loss when Kuwait went down the tubes, that is the only reason he gathered an international force to retake Kuwait, he reclaimed his booty.
