Looks like the highest year for troop totals in Iraq was year 1 with...

131k army ... 141k navy... 118k airforce... 66k marines.

Around 456kish. But every other year was significantly lower.

Apparently the 456kish number is Afghanistan and Iraq. It doesn't separate the numbers.

Navy Seals aren't what you're looking for EITHER, seeing as their spec ops. You are asking for army forces and refusing to accept that you're asking for ARMY forces.

What in the literal fuck are you talking about?

You brought up Navy Seals. I believe he's saying they don't count because we literally tend not admit what special ops account for in troop counts for obvious reasons.

But even if you wanted to factor them in as a "true but classified" count that we wouldn't know about, I can't imagine them even accounting for 1% among hundreds of thousands.

There's about 5k active Navy Seals, so yeah.

Because I can extend a post so it can talk to two people. It works rather well when you lead off into a completely separate argument that the first person blatantly knows isn't talking to them. Amazing, I know.

So just can't admit you made a mistake. Got it. Smh


Admitting mistakes is something that should only apply in the event mistakes have been made.

I wonder how many people calling for a ground war are actually in the military and would be one of those fighting on the ground themselves.

So you can't have an opinion unless you're in the military. Got it, chief.


Speculating about a number = people can't have an opinion. Got it, chief.

That is both hilariously hypocritical and still managing to be wrong. Good job.

You do realize that there's people here who have ignore features based on someone saying your name in a post, right? I'm not getting a post on ignore just to specify when I'm changing who I'm talking to.

So you were wrong and can't admit it. Got it. Lmfao. Acting a bit juvenile now, but you be you.


What was he wrong about?
