Cedarford knows The meaning Of Service

I challenge Melanies 49,880 as of any significance. Total wounded is only 22,057 according to:

http://www.icasualties.org/oif/

She appears to be counting also the sick and pregnant and John Kerry "owie!" band aid minor injuries.

There does seem to be a tawdry eagerness to inflate the war costs (50,000 Americans injured, 655,000 Iraqi civilians killed!!) And an eagerness to blame the Americans for ALL the 53-57,000 actual deaths of Iraqi soldiers,cops, insurgents civilians, terrorists when the vast lion's share of the soldier, cop, civilian deaths have been by terrorists and insurgents.

And our 3,000 dead have not been murdered by Bush, as Lefties say, but by murderous Islamoids...referred to by many of the Left like Cindy Sheehan as "freedom fighters".

The 3,000 Deaths remains the Death Count Watchers "gold standard" and anti-Americans and anti-war people plan their 3,000 DEAD!! festivities and rallies over the next 10 days..

The number of annual military fatalities in the last 3 years is still significantly less than the military fatalities in peacetime Carter and Reagan years before Reagan modernized the military and cut the death rates.

The 3,000 is sad and sadder still because of Bush's postwar bungling, but as war deaths go it is a trivial number. It is being embraced and hyped by the Left purely for political gain.
The fallen soldiers used to make their prop cemeteries and prop names of the dead lists. Victimized and infantilized for the hope of demoralizing Americans and undermining their will. It is a good thing we have denied the Lefties the photo op of coffins and the theatrical Leftie mourners ready to weep and wail when the "collapsed in grief over coffins" opportunity presents.

Just another self-righteous asshole. A trivial number of people die of
lightning every year in America out of 2.4 miillion annual deaths, and assholes like theroachman think the end of the debate is to evoke the unchallengable victimhood and moral supremacy of the soldier or the lightning hit family. Lightning is a trivial statistical contributor??? Oh yeah!! Tell it to the Victim's family!!! Tell Them!! Scumbag

5 years of "unbearable death" under Chimpy McHitlerburton, folks, is less than one week of dead from the American Civil War. Less than 2 hours worth of Soviet dead in WWII.

So just drop it, because no matter who you try that crap on, it winds getting stuffed back into your face.Anonymouse

Actually, folks like you are wallowing in a small number of deaths, glorying in it, as a talisman you think will give you power as you milk those dead Americans for all they are worth. You disgust most families that have
a KIA or badly wounded soldier with your insistance they died for nothing, patronizing them as stupid helpless infants. You seek to steal their valor and accomplishments by casting them as victims. When you say Bush murdered a bunch of psychotic Iraqi insurgents and terrorists, you make those serving under him murderers by proxy. Its the John Kerry Playbook shit lowlifes like you love, Anonymouse - "American soldiers are the raping, murdering, Ghengisss Khaaans of
Iraq."

If anyone is getting it stuffed back in their face, it is the
anti-American Left that is being abandoned as the Democrats decide to go more towards the Center. The Murtha votes and Pelosi backing off from her cut and run position are fair proof that the Dems do not wish to be tarred as anti-American.
