Nearly one-third of the total forces engaged at Gettysburg became casualties. George Gordon Meade’s Army of the Potomac lost 28 percent of the men involved; Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia suffered over 37 percent.

Of these casualties, 7,058 were fatalities (3,155 Union, 3,903 Confederate). Another 33,264 had been wounded (14,529 Union, 18,735 Confederate) and 10,790 were missing (5,365 Union, 5,425 Confederate).


The number is equal to or double the number killed in three days at Gettysburg.  

Yes, and you had approximately equal numbers of troops engaged as in Ukraine, just over three days instead of nearly a month.  But it goes to the pace of combat operations in Ukraine, it's not something low intensity if these figures are close.  It's medium intensity, give or take.  The Russians are losing as many as 500 men per day.  That's major combat on a sustained level, it means a lot of Russian families are getting bad news unless they suppressed it.  It's also ten percent of their force give or take, which is a point at which less experienced troops will lose morale and combat power.

It's rare we've had conflicts involving two organized militaries going at it of late.

That was amazing

that was a terrific video. 

My favorite line of his: 

"All of the military analytics are made predominately by fools who have either long lost touch with reality or never even touched it in the first place." 

Damn. That's spot on. Hits home hard after all the crap we've seen in the US.

It hits a lot harder home for them, after they've engaged in a war they cannot win, that can only result in the destruction of their economy and the global excommunication or death of their dictator.
