<<Is the end of the world near? Launch the nukes? Really. I can just imagine what these guys would have sounded like in 1942. >>>
!942? About that time we were losing 30 merchant ships per week to the German subs with few survivors, and this was reported as two ships per week by a more patriotic Press to prevent a collapse of morale in all areas
The losses there alone in one week would be from 3 to 5 times all of our casualties in the last three wars, in which actions we have ended the regimes of three would- be Hitlers or equivalents
10k to 20 K US casualties were a reasonable expectation for the Iraq actions
General Franks did it for less then 200.
If thats losing , I'll join the losing side.
