And, let's put the "mounting casualties" thing into perspective this
weekend as we recall 400,000 from WWII and 58,000 KIA from SEA.

Big difference--

The 5,000 casualties we have now are totally unnecessary.

Wait a sec... is this just the casualties from Iraq, or did you include
the first three thousand from a couple of years back?

A lot of people keep forgetting those, for some reason.

We have @ 800 KIA and @ 4,000 WIA, just in Iraq. We have had 85 KIA in
Afghanistan.
