Death Toll - Iraq...

Did you, Ducimus?

anyway,

yeah, its amazing....seeing how in WW2 it took an entire wing of bombers to take out a target. That caused uncountable civilian tolls.

Now look: we can fire a TLAM through some guys window, taking out just his little shack or what ever he lives in. most civ counts don't get above ten, and thats in a highlly residential area.

pretty neat, if you ask me.

I think Ducimus only counts the dead. Try counting the living friend. If you are concerned about human life then the lives saved are just as important as those lost.

Statistics.. That was the point of this post.

This isnt a praise about anyone, its another freaking Pro war, "gee, its not so bad, damn liberal press is blowing this out of proportion, lets put it into perspective" post. That's what this really is. Its the same type of horsehit pro war people spout so it doesnt sound so damn bad and trumpet just how great bush and the goverment is.

Anytime i hear about a G.I getting killed it pisses me off. To talk about those G.I's as a meaningless stastics really ticks me off. They had names, they had famlies. One statistic they dont tell you about is how many come home maimed or with emotional scars. Then when their discharged, their tossed aside like an old pair of boots. Never hear about or look into that do you?!?!

So this month 101 G.I's died..... for what? Freedom? Thats what we tell ourselves so we'll feel warm and fuzzy about it. Nobody wants to say, to admit that their friends may have died for nothing, for some lost cause that wasnt, or shouldnt have been ours.

And yeah, i saw my share of bull****. I've been to Korea to Bosnia, and alot of places in between and the hardest thing to accept was that where my country was concerned, it was all for nothing. In the end, nothing done mattered to anyone except to those who where there.

If i sound bitter, its because i am.
