Granted, those were the bloodiest battles this nation has ever fought, but even compared to more recent wars like the one in Vietnam, this one is rather tame. 4,000 is just a number, and you want to boil our soldiers' sacrifice down to a politically-loaded statistic. That's just cold, and wholly irrelevant unless you also consider the deeds those soldiers have accomplished over the past four years. But you won't acknowledge that the war has done any good whatsoever, so damn your statistics, they don't mean a thing. |
So tell me what good it has done, exactly, how are we any safer from terrorists, etc? How is our standing with the international community any better? hmm..?
