For people saying Russia's alleged losses are unreasonable, explain this

>During World War II, 1,506,000 Purple Heart medals were manufactured, many in anticipation of the estimated casualties resulting from the planned Allied invasion of Japan

What the fuck does the Allied production of purple hearts during WW2 have to do with Russia's losses in the Ukraine invasion being unreasonable? Is this some advance Brazilian monkey logic that I am unable to comprehend?

Are you dumb or just pretending? why are huge losses to be expected in a land invasion in 1940 something but not in 2022?

Costed like 5 shekels to produce these in china. Is this what people died for?

you’re an actual retard, please explain

Not even close to 1M dead, Russia is winning bros

>uhm, why is a world war situation from a century ago different from a modern border war in 2022???
Ah, so it was Brazilian monkey logic, good to know

Nigger you are so stupid but I will try to break it down for you.
>be 1945 American soldier/marine
>spend the last 2 years getting killed in the most inhumane ways possible on islands that the country youre at war with owns

>remember all the guerilla warfare and false surrenders that the nips did on the islands
>multiply by the population of Japan

>be modern day russia
>go literally next door to retards that dont even have nuclear arms
>get shit on
You dumb brazillian nigger I will literally rape you if I catch you on l4d2

> Not even close to 1M dead
What do you mean?

Because this is a ludicrously low intensity conflict and ww2 invading Japan would have been an unprecedented amphibious attack where hundreds of thousands of casualties were basically guaranteed within a handful of hours

Americans use this as a excuse for using the nuke guilt-free, since "muh conventional invasion would cost a bajillion lives", but in reality those medals are made in batches and paid for as such... and Hirohitos government was basically a hair away from being overthrown.

Of course it will be different, but with advances in military weapons and tech, the logic should be to expect deadlier conflicts.

Are you implying Japan had nukes in WWII?

I have the Purple Heart my uncle was awarded after being injured in France in 1944. It always reminds me of listening one day to my Aunt describing the daily stress of hoping the Western Union man on his bike wouldn't stop at your house with pic related.

I am Australian special forces. American Purple Hearts are given out for a scratched shin or twisted ankle. They are a meaningless metric to use.

>and Hirohitos government was basically a hair away from being overthrown
You can’t rely on that, especially without hindsight
They had distributed manuals to civilians for basic guns that could be made in small civilian workshops, and had been holding back all their suicide planes and boats to defend the home islands
The US had to assume it would be Iwo Jima times a thousand (which is also why the Japanese fought so hard at Iwo, to discourage a landing on the home islands)

The capacity for acceptable American losses during a world war a century ago, under a completely different paradigm of warfare and invading the "aggressor" is obviously going to be higher than the capacity for Russian losses in a modern war of aggression to re-take Ukraine, you retarded fucking ape.

If you aren't trolling, you sincerely need to kill yourself for the good of the species, nobody this retarded should be allowed to procreate.

Russia cannot throw away the same amount of lives on a Ukraine invasion that America considered basically unreasonable to throw away during a WW2 invasion of Japan.

My grandfathers and great uncles fought in Iwo Jima and fucking hated the Japanese til the day they died
