Ever since Desert Storm the American people have enjoyed the idea that warfare, for them, is relatively bloodless. The other guy does the dying.<br /><br />Even the monthly losses they bore during the Vietnam war would probably be hard on the civilian population. From 1967 to 1970 they were running between 400 and 500+ KIA per month.<br /><br />One estimate I read of a war with China suggested the first month might be the bloodiest at 20,000 US casualties.
