Re: American Heroes

I agree, and am absolutely disgusted by the Politicians on Capitol Hill who are selling out our Servicemen and saying that the Iraq operation is a failure, and that we've lost. Not only has our society become incredibly impatient, but I also blame the expanded media coverage and daily death tolls being printed in the newspaper (which I find unconscionable, by the way).

Politicians looking to make a name for themselves seize on 4,000 Military deaths over 5 years as "proof" that we've lost- that's an average of 2.19 per day. In the 4 year period of WWII, the US lost 418,500 troops- that's 287 per day (average). Imagine what the world would look like today if these cowardly lawmakers had been around back then to buffalo the public into believing we should abandon that campaign.
