It's not your fault tejek. When Bush was President, left wingers posted a body count on a daily basis and any engagement in Iraq or Afghanistan was News worthy. These days its almost like international military operations don't exist.

And, when you do a little reality check we find out we have almost that many murders per year in one city alone (Chicago) right here in the USA, without calling it a war and without trillions spent on the machinery and cool outfits and war rooms and such. And in ten years these "wars" don't bag as many bodies as we get in one year of Urban (16,259) USA.
