We don't see pictures of the military deaths in Iraq on the news every
times someone is killed.

Perhaps that is why there have been so many military deaths in Iraq. The
Vietnam War would have continued indefinitely without the media.

With 50,000 plus in Viet Nam yet less than 4,000 in Iraq, I guess that means
ten more years.....


Deaths? I'll give you deaths. In the late Summer and Fall of 1914, the
French Army lost 700,000 men in a short few months. That's more than have
been killed in all of the US's services in 20th century wars....

How was the French media along about first snowfall?

Still " Audace, audace, toujours audace!"

As for US battles, on one afternoon, although counting both sides in an
internecine conflict, the bloodiest day in US history, Sharpsburg/Anteitam
Creek, 27,000, the majority within a few hundred yards of a sunken lane. D
Day was a piker, less than 3,000 in 24 hours, not many more than Pearl
Harbor.
