cqc is the most deadly form of combat, and america has something like 4 guns per resident. if Ukraine is any indication, pacifying a well armed citizenry is not an easy feat.



Since the Russian invasion until November 2023 30,000 soldiers where killed.

>In 2023, 43,163 people died in the United States from gun related injuries.

Seems like the deadlier form of combat is just living in the US.


Ukraine has 33 mil., US 334 mil. of population. You comparing apples with oranges.


The US also isn't facing an invading army!


But also act as invider many times in history.


What does that have to do with comparing deaths of civilians within the homeland?


Ask war veterans.
