What would the loss of a million men. or 2 million. or 5 million matter to the jampacked nation of 700 million that is mainland China. that can and will unconcernedly pour its cannon fodder into an adjacent. longcoveted area. and peopled with its fellow Asiatics. Their lives mean nothing to their own bloody rulers who have liquidated vast numbers of their own. But our American boys lives would mean everything to our own Government and people if sacrificed in a cause in which we should never have engaged.
