News flash - servicemen die in war.

1062 and counting, I believe, at least 900 post-"Mission Accomplished --

An extremely small number, by any measure. Hell, there were 42,643
people killed in traffic accidents alone in the US in 2003.

I like that!! A new War On Traffic Accidents.

That
means that EVERY YEAR, we lose nearly the same amount as we lost in
the entire Vietnam war. 1062 lives lost in a war for our very
survival is a trivial number.

Is 3000 people killed in the WTC a "trivial number"? I certainly hope not.
Or why else would you be paying down a couple cool trillion dollars on them?



Kinda puts it in perspective, doesn't it?
