how many ww1 vetrans are alive?

Counts vary, as do references to US veterans only or world wide.\n\nAccording to Wikipedia, which I have no reason to believe is authoritative on this matter, there are 82.\n"World Totals - 82 veterans\n    * Allies (including Italy): 64\n    * Central Powers: 18"\n\nFAQ Farm has multiple contributions (from different people, such as here on Yahoo) and one contribution claims none, but give no background as to whether worldwide or country specific. (2)\n\nWhatever the number, whether 82 or anything greater than 0, it is steadily diminishing. Assuming that it was possible to lie to get into the military at 14 years old and that WW I, "The Great War," ended in 1918, then the youngest veteran would have to be 102 years old. The probability is that any living survivors are older than that and that death is immanent.

2445\n\nTotal wounded:  17,650\n\nBTW, have you noticed that the media no longer says "wounded"?  They say "injured".  Makes it sound nicer.

Haha, that sounds really ridiculous. May have happened in WW1 though. But a dog has ever fought in WW1 and got promoted to sergeant, decorated with medals.

This might sound strange, but it depends upon how you define "died".  Take a look at the chart at the source.  It shows battle deaths, other deaths, and non-mortal woundings.  \n\nTo directly respond to your question, there have been 651,008 battle deaths through Desert Storm.  There have been another 2,465 in the latest Iraq conflict, 295 in Afghanistan and approximately 18 in Somalia for a grand total of 653,786...and unfortunately growing.

I see that you have posted another question you really don't want an answer to. Stop telling us what we already know. People die in wars. Here are some numbers for you:\n\nTop ten wars with the most US military fatalities: as of 2003\n\n10: Gulf War: 148\n9:   Spanish/American war of 1898: 385\n8:   Mexican war of 1846: 1733\n7:   War of 1812: 2,260\n6:   Revolutionary War: 4,435\n5:   Korean War:  33,651\n4:   World War l:  53,513\n3:   Vietnam:  58,193\n2:   Civil War:  140,414 (Union only: Confederates recorded at 74,000 est)\n\nNUMBER ONE:  World War ll:  292,131\n\nThe greatest civilian losses in all world history are from World War ll: Across the globe, a shocking tally of: 25,568,400.\n\n42,747 Civilian deaths are reported at http://iraqbodycount.net/ and that doesn't compare to the lowest civilian body count of WWll which was 300,000 suffered in Hungary.\n\nCurrent death toll of our service men totals in at 2500 estimate, with changes daily. That currently puts Iraq in at #7 on the top ten.\n\nI don't want to see this war climb to number 6 any more than any one else. Beyond that, what I am trying to say, is that what you are saying has been known for centuries (speaking of the fact that people die in wars) so you aren't presenting anything new and in fact you are just ranting. Yet, I will answer you question by saying this. ONE death from this war, was too many. That is the reality of war. It is hell and good people die. I wish it weren't happening, but there it is. Support our troops, and welcome them home when they come!

About 75 active warheads and about 115 Total.\n\nThis maynot be the latest count.Got the info from a site given in the source column

It's not nearly as newsworthy.\n\nBut also, Yahoo! only lists the dead soldiers.  Not the dead civilians.

About 651,000 battle deaths. That number is only through the Gulf War so you probably need to add on another 3,000 or so for the wars in Afganistan and Iraq. The website below breaks it down by war.

I went over in 64. Came home in late 65.You should start counting in 65 when the build up started. The first big numbers was when Hal Moores Air Cav. got shot up at L.Z. Xray. Then there 2nd. Battalion got shot up even worse by walking out to Albany. The brass really screwed the pooch on that. They could have been air lifted out of X Ray but the brass wanted them to march to L Z Albany. Nobody ever explaned that. There were big numbers them couple of days. Hats off to the 7th. Air Cav.
