The war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea has been fought for three years. How many casualties are the US military? Sasha Q&A Episode 134
There is not much controversy about the casualties number at present.
The United States has long published detailed data, accurate to single digits.
The most common number is the number on the Korean War Retired Veterans Memorial in Washington.
US military killed 36,570 people in battle, which is the number of deaths killed in the battle.
The total number of deaths in the US military was 54,246, with more than 10,000 more.
According to US military standards, these more than 10,000 people died in non-combat, not in battle on the spot.
The US military's standards for death in battle are very strict. Even if you die after being seriously injured in the battle and still die in the hospital for several months, it is not counted as more than 36,000 people.
In addition, after being injured during the battle, he died of illness and freezing to death. He went to the front line by flying and was shot down by anti-aircraft artillery, healthy soldiers died of infectious diseases, and were accidentally injured by their own people on the front line, etc., are not considered death in combat.
It should be noted that this is the death of American citizens.
In the early days of the Korean War, the US military was short of troops due to haste to rush to the front line, which supplemented many South Korean soldiers.
As of September 30, 1950, The 1st Cavalry Division of the United States Army had 13,859 people, including 2,961 Korean soldiers; 15,591 people in the 24th Infantry Division, including 43,606 Koreans; 14,122 people in the 2,756 Koreans; 14,617 people in the 25th Infantry Division, including 3,230 Koreans; 15,865 people in the 7th Infantry Division, including 7,975 Koreans.
These soldiers do not belong to the South Korean army, but are directly under the command of the US military and are incorporated into the US combat force, which is theoretically part of the US military.
Although there are a large number of Korean soldiers, their death numbers are not counted as US military.
After all, more than 50,000 U.S. troops died in North Korea.
So, is this number large or small?
is not small.
US military has been in Vietnam for more than 410 years, with 58,209 officers and soldiers killed.
Only three years of the Korean War, more than 50,000 US troops died.
The US military believes that there are heavy casualties in Vietnam, so the same is true in North Korea.
During the Korean War, the number of US military injured was 103,284.
In short, the total number of casualties of the US military is 165,707.
htmlThe number of more than 3.16 million people is not small. World War II The most tragic counterattack in the U.S. military, with only 77,000 casualties.
In fact, the South Korean army is actually suffering heavy losses.
UN military 628,833 people died, 1.064,453 injured, and 472,67 missing. The 470,000 missing people in
are mostly South Korean soldiers.
At that time, in order to avoid destruction, the South Korean government forced the strong men everywhere to catch the strong men and forced each family to produce a male men.
South Korean soldiers did not join the army voluntarily, and the battle was very tragic, so they often looked for opportunities to escape.
Most of the 470,000 people escaped home, rather than being unable to find the body after being wiped out.
As for the 1.06 million injured, about 800,000 were South Korean troops.
In other words, South Korean troops suffered more than one million casualties. For South Korea, which has a population of tens of millions, this kind of casualties is extremely heavy.
