Another excellent piece by Hansen.
We mourn the death of every man and women who has been killed in Iraq & Afghanistan but taking into consideration that we have liberated FIFTY MILLION PEOPLE in three years, the results have been outstanding.
And as I have mentioned before, taken into perspective, 1900 deaths are substantial but I remember months when I was in Viet Nam that we lost four and five hundred a week.
So the death toll is considerable but compared to other wars in American history, I believe we are doing an exemplary job of keeping it low.
Semper Fi,
Kelly
