for those at home keeping score
Well, now they've gone and done it, now haven't they now:
U.S. Military Deaths in Iraq Pass 1,000.
For the past month or so I've heard an occassional minor rumble or two about the U.S. hitting the one thousand dead soldier mark, like it's some sort of major milestone on the blood paved road to victory. Do you think a family gives a damn if their son or daughter was casualty number one, three hundred seventeen, or freaking one thousand?
Dead is dead.
Let's pause a moment from the action on the field to get an update on the score:
September Eleven Dead Americans: 2,996
Iraq War Dead Americans: 1,002
Total Dead Americans: 3,998
Iraqi Civilian War Dead: 11,793
(Afghanistan not included.)
We're still winning.
