You Wrote-''My question concerned casualties in the Pacific Theater. One of my substitute history teachers had served under MacArthur.'' A remark by a substitute history teacher is not a source we can use on Wikipedia. The rules of the road on Wikipedia are detailed here Identifying reliable sources

You wrote-''What I'd like to know is, are the casualty totals listed in online sources considered accurate? Are they based on reports from the field or have they been established by more accurate methods after the fact?'' The footnotes detail the figures seeWorld War II casualties. John W. Dower puts civilian dead in the Manila massacre at 90,000.

Soviet losses are covered in detail here World War II casualties of the Soviet Union and Germany here German casualties in World War II
