      I know the casualties number is not “dead” per se, but even if you go by estimated dead at something like 325k the difference is staggering. More than an order of magnitude more deaths on their side. That’s the cost of meat wave tactics versus a modern military.

          You’re being downvoted, but honestly, who can really say either way.

          During war, we should expect everything officially stated by both sides to be propaganda. Sometimes it’s true, sometimes exaggerated, sometimes a lie, either to deceive the enemy, or others.

          I want to believe the positive statistics of course, but I take it all with a grain of salt.

          Even a good, moral leader would be stupid to always tell the unvarnished truth during wartime.
