Fair enough, but I was including the Revolution, war of 1812, Spanish American War, Civil War, WW1, Korea, WW2, Vietnam, the Middle east wars that are still ongoing.

While they might not quite total one million combines, at minimum it would be close....
SO, LOTS of hundreds of thousands of men.

And the broader point is the men do all the dying...

It is always the men who are on the front lines of battles in our nations history doing the fighting..
Don't stop at 1900.

Please, I realize there have been SOME females but they are so miniscule in numbers compared to the ground combat troops....

So I think if you went back and revisited all the other wars and added them to the collective, you may discover that the number is pretty high....

Re: "So when you lose millions of men in your population over less than a hundred years due to being blown apart, or riddled with bullets, mortar shells, artillery shells and fragments, bombs and missiles, there are less and less men in the population for the ladies to choose from..."
I'm not losing sight of your broader message - honest - but I can't let this slide:

Total U.S. deaths from war since 1900 are about 626,000. Of those, 433,000 were from combat. I have no idea what the other 193,000 died of or who they were, but they were mostly in WWI and WWII.

So... not millions.
