Out of all the Soviet males born in 1923, an estimated 80 percent didn’t survive the war.

Numbers in wrong order by mistake?
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.
