LET'S KEEP OUR EYES ON THE REAL TOTALS GM OWES US....>$70 BILLION

Look, Bozo, my unit was looking across the fence staring at the East bloc forces, so you can consider yourself LUCKY they chose not to come over because that would have gone nuclear in no time.
Peacetime? I had buddies and friends serving the same time as I did, that were killed and injured in crashes and accidents like the Gander Newfoundland crash that killed a bunch of 101st Airborne troops, two friends killed in separate helicopter crashes, including my roommate, and was on one exercise where 12 guys got killed in a variety of nasty accidents you surely won't care to hear about. My guys and I also nearly got it one night during a training incident, with some other unit firing out of the box by mistake.
So even though most of it was "peacetime", dead soldiers probably don't care much for your fine distinction. Our unit did not go to Grenada because it was important we stay where we were.
In short, you can bite me you little jerk.
