Guest guest Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Dear list members,In studying the historical record, it emerges that 917.000 American lives have been lost in acts of war since the Revolutionary war was fought and up until the present War of Terror being waged primarily in Afghanistan and Iraq, but also with potential hostilities elsewhere.The greatest loss of life was the bloody civil war of 1861-1864, where almost 200.000 lives were lost. World War I was also costly with around 117.000 dead in 1917-1918. The largest loss of American lives, however, occurred during World War II with 417.000 killed. There have been many campaigns waged by the US military with only a few dead up to a few thousand, including the current War on Terror.This list should concentrate the attention on periods were the transit and period combination should have been particularily bad with respect to the SAMVA USA chart. - The primary natal combination for war being triggered in the chart is the aspect of L6 Jupiter at 4° 25' Scorpio in H5 to L1 Moon in 7° 26' Taurus in H11. - In the case of the Civil War, the location of L4 Venus in H6 and aspect of Ketu on H4 MEP, was also being triggered. - Finally, the aspect of L8 Saturn at 26° 46' in Scorpio and H5 to L2 Sun at 23° 46' Capricorn and H7 is also an element in the many foreign wars. There is one observation that needs to be made and that the loss of American lives, even if high, pales in comparison to the numbers of lives lost in wars that have ravaged the continents of Europe and Asia.Best wishes,Thor Location Killed Wounded 1775-1783 Revolutionary War 25.324 8.445 1789 Indian Wars 6.125 2.156 1798-1800 Franco-Amer Naval War 20 42 1801-1815 Barbary Wars 35 64 1812-1815 War of 1812 2.260 4.505 1814 Marquesas Islands 4 1 1822-1825 West Indies 3 5 1832 Sumatra 2 11 1835-1836 Texas War Of Independence 704 138 1846-1848 Mexican War 13.283 32 1855 Fiji 1 2 1859-1860 Texas Border Cortina War 5 18 1861-1865 Civil War, North 363 281 1861-1865 (2) Civil War, South 199.110 137.102 1853 Japan 5 6 1867 Formosa 1 0 1870 Mexico 1 4 1871 Korea 4 10 1898 Spanish American War 2.893 1.637 1899-1902 Philippines War 4.273 2.840 1899 Samoa 4 5 1900 China Boxer Rebellion 53 253 1902-1913 Moro Campaigns 130 300 1904 Dominican Republic 1 0 1911-1919 Mexico 19 69 1912 Nicaragua 5 16 1915-1920 Haiti 146 26 1916-1922 Dominican Republic 144 50 1917-1918 World War I 116.708 204.002 1918-1919 Russia North Expedition 246 307 1918-1920 Russia Siberia Expedition 170 52 1921-1941 China Yangtze Service 5 80 1927-1932 Nicaragua 136 66 1941 North Atlantic Naval War 141 44 1941-1945 World War II 417.215 670.846 1950 Inchon 670 -- 1950-1953 Korean War 54.246 103.284 1954 Matsu and Quemoy 3 0 1957-1975 Vietnam War 65.259 153.356 1958-1984 Lebanon 268 169 1962 Cuba 9 0 1964 Panama Canal Riots 4 85 1965-1966 Dominican Republic 59 174 1966-1969 South Korea 89 131 1967 Israel Attack/USS Liberty 34 171 1980 Iran 8 0 1983 Grenada 19 100 1983 Beirut Lebanon 241 1983-1991 El Salvador 20 0 1984-1989 Honduras 1 28 1986 Libya 2 0 1987 Persian Gulf 148 467 1989-1990 Panama 40 240 1990-1991 Persian Gulf, Op Desert Shield/Storm 363 357 1991-1992 Somalia, Op Restore Hope 8 -- 1993 Terrorism, World Trade Center 6 1.000 1995 Terrorism/Oklohoma bombing 175 442 1996 Terroism 19 500 Khobar Towers, Saudi Arabia 2000 Yemen, USS Cole 17 651 2001 Terrorism Op.
