We lost 12 anecdotal soldiers this past week, with scores more wounded...kind of typical anecdotal week. It is unfortunate that you choose to make a joke of it. These were real people who lost their lives in a real war. Some people are so superficial in their [mis]understanding of what war is about that they equate success with minimization of body counts, rather than considering the progress that is being made (it is a natural result of having a superficial liberal media covering the war). This is precisely the kind of thinking that caused McNamara and Johnson to lead 58,300 American soldiers to their deaths. But these incidents tell us nothing about how the war is progressing. The deaths are unfortunate. But the huge number of innocent lives we have saved must count for something; and the untold tens or hundreds of thousands that will be saved in the future must have some meaning. Again, I understand why you can't see it, as you are blinded by incompetent liberalism. But it really does lead you to erroneous conclusions. As you become more experienced in life, and actually the see the positive consequences of a righteous war, perhaps if it is necessary for us to do this again you'll have a different view.
