I agree. Compared to other wars those numbers are extremly small.

Not at all. I can sympathize with the troops over there. To tell you the truth, i'd much rather shoot a civilian and be safe than hesitate and be dead. When those guys hear and see that shit every day, I don't blame them for what goes on over there. I'd be the same way.

It seems people are trying to "suprise" me with news of death tolls and the like, but really they match to any other war in history...especially one that's longer than a year and involves an insurgency.[/quote:99bb1]
It's a different day and age. Back in the good ol days war was different. I don't know how or why, but today any casualties seem unappropriate. If 10,000 troops die in Iraq, do you think that will be tolerated? I don't. I think it's pushing it right now with 1,500 or around there.
