At least it is according to this crummy historian. By his logic, we really shouldn't get worked up about attacks until our enemies have conquered a large percentage of the nation and besieged Chicago for five and a half months. Then and only then may we really get mad and fight back. He apparently believes we should fight a rope-a-dope style of war where we wear down the enemy by getting our asses kicked for a while.

I've been thinking about that 20,000,000. It really is a testament to the people of the USSR that they continued to fight under such staggering losses. It should be a disgrace to the Soviet government, though. Any historian that throws that number around as some sort of relevant benchmark for national defense should go back to taking undergraduate history courses.
