....ask some soldier sitting in a Vet hospital with no arms and legs pissing out of a tube if Iraq has been a cake walk.
Opinions differ.
At the very least...it's a bad choice of words.

....ask some soldier sitting in a Vet hospital with no arms and legs pissing out of a tube if Iraq has been a cake walk. Ask that person, "Compared to the trench battles in WWI, did you have it easy in Iraq?"

If you look at ANY war in the micro [one person] then all wars are the same. Unbelievably horrible! The only difference between a quadriplegic from WWI, WWII or Iraq is that today there is better health/rehabilitation care.
I think what the writer is referring to is the MACRO. In this context the Iraq/Afghan Wars losses are MILITARILY insignificant.....this may sound cold and heartless.....but facts usually are.
