the actual battlefield for the first time. I do not remember the exact numbers, but over 400 suicides and slightly fewer deaths in Iraq.

These are the casualties that are not counted among the victims of these horrible wars.

I guess they cannot train everyone to lose their conscience try as they do. Another awful tragedy that never should have happened.

And we have people cheering on another war, this time in Iran. I have an idea. Those who support all these wars should be required to go fight in them AND pay for them with their tax dollars. Those who do not, should get tax decuctions.
