No really, I would totally qualify a number like 6 FUCKING MILLION with the word "some"

TBogg catches this little gaffe from our good friend Mel Gibson (emphasis added):

I have friends and parents of friends who have numbers on their arms. The guy who taught me Spanish was a Holocaust survivor. He worked in a concentration camp in France. Yes, of course. Atrocities happened. War is horrible. The Second World War killed tens of millions of people. Some of them were Jews in concentration camps. Many people lost their lives. In the Ukraine, several million starved to death between 1932 and 1933. During the last century, 20 million people died in the Soviet Union.


There's part of me that's saying, fuck it, Gibson's an asshole, but what hell kind of talk is this? Cities burning down just happens, POWs getting killed after laying down their weapons just happens, that's war. Millions of people being rounded up, tortured, starved and then killed doesn't just happen, and this much is obvious.
