That any U.S. soldier should die in combat or otherwise is tragic and unfortunate to our country and to the families involved. The War on Terror, however, in Iraq and Afghanistan, has been mild in terms of military deaths.
Via Gateway Pundit, some perspective on the recent 4,000 U.S. military deaths:
“Sizing Up Sacrifice”
Iraq War (5 years)– 3,990
Batan Death March (one week)– 10,000
Battle of Guadalcanal (186 days)– 7,099
Battle of Guam (20 Days)– 3,000
Operation Market Garden (9 days)– 3,664
Battle of the Bulge (41 days)– 19,276
Battle of Iwo Jima (39 days)– 6,821
Battle of Pusan Perimeter (61 days-Korea)– 6,706
The media will not bother mentioning the fact that the U.S. military lost more members in the first 5 years of the Clinton reign than the 5 years we’ve been in Iraq.
