But the fact that the total amount of US casualties is lower than that the entire D-Day campaign should be a credit to the commanders in the field.

The lyrics I posted were from "Dead Flowers" on the Rolling Stone's "Sticky Fingers" album. Although the album cover was rather... umm... unusual. It had a guy in jeans on the cover and the jeans had a zipper you could pull down. I don’t' know if that had anything to do with Sticky Fingers or not, and it is probably better not knowing. ;-)
