Define combat deaths Vs. deaths from enemy action. The source is using typical BS to mislead people as to the true situation in occupied Germany. If you want to really see how difficult it was then I suggest you use the link I posted.

You seem to post about it endlessly, every day, seems like you've become obsessed by it. What do you hope to gain by it?
I dont even disagree with a lot of what you say, but frankly it's annoying how much you post it.

Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson said that.
Being a sheep (like yourself) is disgraceful.

or to place the blame on only one party
let's not forget how much power the legislative branch also has
and how only one senator voted no to the patriot act
but of course it's all blamed on bush
