UK and US casualties too high?
The total casualties for the US and UK are higher than 400,000 each in the "Human Losses by Country" table, but the detailed numbers by country in the footnotes show losses lower than 300,000. Should we alter the numbers in the table for each country? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BountyFlamor (talk • contribs) 22:00, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
