Mine are trained, of course, to go as fast or slow as I tell them. Or do little dances. March in place. Synchronized swimming. Form kick lines like the Rockettes.
This made me laugh out loud!!

The Russian death toll in WWI was 1,700,000. The US 49,000.
Quote by TheAngryishLover
FACT CHECK:
The 'Russian Death Toll' is estimated to be above 3 million lives, whilst the US has a death toll of around 120,000 (due to WW1)
Either way, I'm not sure why you are linking those two statistics?!
Genuinely not sure, so I'm actually asking the question....why are you pointing out the death toll of Russia and USA in WW1?
Quote by Dancewithme
I just rechecked and the total of deaths to military killed in battle and wounded in battle who later died of those wounds is 1.7 million.
The new source gives our casualties at 53,000.
The is great debate as to how to calculate casualties during that war.
The column just says, random facts. So I pointed out the random facts for those two countries. The contrast is very big and makes one wonder why.
A little research about why opens up some major facts about our country and why Russia reacted so violently to the number of deaths.

Well it does depend on source and what you are actually calculating
The contrast is big for some very obvious reason, mainly:
1. The total amount of time spent fighting
2.. The number of troops committed
3. The fact that Russia was invaded, so most of the battle was spent on their own soil (and then civilians etc became involved)
