Your list missed some obvious and needed people.
FDR; 418,500 Americans
JFK; 58,282 KIA 1,664 MIA 65-119 died in captivity Americans
Truman; 128,650 Americans
Wilson; 320,518 Americans
Can anyone tell me what all these men have in common?
You left out Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, and George W. Bush..why is that?
And Eisenhower.
Those numbers on Johnson and Nixon are way off. They were responsible for millions of deaths. At least 2 to 3 million.
