With the size of the Republic, that would only equel a hand full of troops per planet.

One uncivilized planet maybe?

Guys, I was wrong today. I mistyped some stuff and had to correct it. I messed up and admit it.

Dont be such a bloody push over Striker. Thats how those words are ment to be spelt and anyone else is just a moron. How could anyone in their right mind know that "gulaxie" is spelt that way? Those retards who spell it "galaxy" need to get out of their parents basements all ready. Your not wrong, everyone else is.

Anyway, I was talking to a friend of mine who is a huge Star Wars fan.
He said he liked the books she wrote that he has read (about 4 of them, and none of the ones that have created such heated debates). Then I showed him the 3M clones.
He says "WHAT! That doesn't even make sense. There were probably that many in the battle of Geonosis alone!"
And he is not one of the tech minded ones she thinks she is fighting against.

Indeed, she's fighting against every fan with a brain.

With the size of the Republic, that would only equel a hand full of troops per planet.

Even taking the lowest stated number of planets (Tarkin's "million worlds" quote from ANH), that leaves just 3 clones per planet. Fighting against a force that we know from a canonical statement from Grievous himself to be in the quintillions.
Hell, I remember an old thread on SDN where they calculated the output of that one foundry seen on Geonosis, the output being high enough to match the entire GAR in a year or so.

I prefer comparing the GAR's forces to WW2 armies to demonstrate how stupid Traviss' numbers are. At its peak in 1945, the British Army numbered three million men - the same as Traviss' GAR. The US Army numbered 8.3 million - close to three times as many. The Red Army numbered 12.5 million - more than four times as many. This completely ignores the French, Czechs, Poles, Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders, Chinese, etc, etc. Even then, the allied armies, not even their entire armed forces, just their ground forces, would have outnumbered Traviss' galactic army by eight to one. That was for a war that never touched the vast majority of the land surface of a single planet.

Aye, "retarded" doesn't even begin to cover it.

My favorite part is that when someone argues with her, they are automatically wrong.

Oh my. What a b*tch.

Even a bigger idiot than your avatar, Reliant.

Weren't there about 50 million casualties in WW II? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please. Which would be almost 17 times the GAR...

And a misogynist.

Dang, where did I get 50 million from?

All of those figures are estimates, which will vary wildly, of course. There's probably no way to get a truly 100% accurate number.

Wiki has the number of Allied casualties listed as 50 million, so that might be where you got that from.

Hell, even in the First Wolrd War there were over 18 million casualties. And that was pretty much all fought on the one continent.
