How did they lose 8000 some odd troops in car accidents, falls, food
poisoning, etc killed in 3 years. Something doesn't add up. Was there
another war going on somewhere? I wonder if they did that for the Vietnam
action also?

Interesting stuff.

Subject: [MV] dates that "M" series vehicles arrived in Korea

I was looking for dates that "M" series vehicles arrived in Korea and found
this

 "The original figure of American troops lost--54,246 killed--became
controversial when the Pentagon acknowledged in 2000 that all U.S. troops
killed around the world during the period of the Korean War were
incorporated into that number. For example, any American soldier killed in a

car accident anywhere in the world from June 1950 to July 1953 was
considered a casualty of the Korean War. If these deaths are subtracted from

the 54,246 total, leaving just the Americans who died (from whatever cause)
in the Korean theater of operations, the total U.S. dead in the Korean War
numbers 36,516."

Anyone have any of the date information I am looking for, I did see photos
of M211/135 transporting prisoners (N Korean). Also I cannot find totals for

all allies casualty figures- anyone have this?

thanks
