That point is completely irrelevant to the discussion here, isn't it? What do you say to all of those soldiers who were NOT "lost," but who came back completely destroyed and will never be the same?
I'm no pacifist, mind you. In fact, the next time the U.S. is involved in a military campaign I'll be right behind you on the battlefield -- OK?
Your not a pacifist? Really? Maybe not at DU your not but I can see right through you. For you everything the USA does is a failure. If you don’t get immediately you want to cut and run, long term plans are out of the question for slow learners like you.
