It's quite true. Look at the Vietnam war, where "the girl in the picture" stirred up more popular opinion than sheets of numbers ever could.Jawz II said:

While I always denonuce the soviet beast - Old Stalinorgel had a point.
How many people gave a crap about the millions killed in Africa during the 1990s? Not many.
But show the same people a baby on a ventilator, and the tears will squirt!

If you mean the soviet slave peoples of the 1930s-1940s - You would find their attitude to death a little more callous that us.
These people had a gallows humour, as will happen in a society that is used to death and killing.

It's damn true-I mean, for example, compare media coverage on 9/11 with Iraq.
Or when someone dies (like Reagan for example) everyone cries; when there's a war etc. on, noone does.

Another good one from Koba the Great, actually is, he was told the Pope wouldn't approve of him invading Poland.
"The Pope? How many divisions does he have?"
Or talking of politics:
"Those who cast the votes mean nothing. Those who count the votes mean everything"
