I don't think there are ever going to be a significant number of body bags coming home, at least nowhere near the 200/week for years on end of the Viet Nam era

While I also don't expect more body bags per week than the total US Deaths in the war prior to the carrier speech, I don't think it'll take anywhere near that rate before many, if not most, will be saying "What happened"? In fact, at the current attrition rate, questioning has begun.

With both the economic argument and the inference that the neo-cons have a tendency to leap before fully understanding implications of the leap, I have no argument.
