Or put another way: it took 5 years and 11 days for the number of casualties in the War in Iraq to equal the number of casualties in 90 minutes on 9-11-01.
Yep.
And this time, were GIVING, not getting.
A little historical perspective:
D day Allied killed 2500
Antietam total killed 3650
Gettysburg " " 5600
Somme first day British " " 19200
Every US death in Iraq is a tragedy to his friends family and comrades. But from a historical perspective our loses in Iraq have been amazingly light. If we can't handle this a nation, we are really a paper tiger.
Good perspective and point, P.
