2. Is it me, or did we go from 1,000 to 1,040 casualties very quickly?

40 Americans dead in just 15 days.

The rate at which young Americans are being shipped home in flag-draped caskets is absolutely alarming.

"The story of what we've done in the postwar period is remarkable. ... It is a better and more important story than losing a couple of soldiers every day." George Nethercutt (R-WA)

11. The ever helpful cons...

standing ready to pour salt on a raw wound. Would this asshole still feel the same if one of his relatives was inclued in the "couple of soldiers every day,"? It's so easy for them to ask others to shed the blood, be maimed for life, or shoulder the burden.

I really,really hate these people.

The ALL the captions with ALL these pics are clearly false. In this incident there would be body parts, blood, people all over the place but yet the pics show no people.
