Again not saying casualties are not needed, compared to other wars the toll is not that high, however that dose not mean that the casualties are insignificant as echo talon claimed. Were not sending off tanks to die we are sending our nations future and when one dies no matter how noble the cause it is always significant. I can stomach high casualties. I could take 100,000 or more if it meant victory, however I could not stomach a fellow American calling there deaths insignificant.

"I could not stomach a fellow American calling there deaths insignificant."

Then, I guess, you misunderstand he and I. They are insignificant when compared to the overall struggle, the WAR and the WARS fought for the Freedoms we have.

My father (whose memory is fading) was the 2nd wave at Normandy. 6 months on the front lines! Brest (France), on foot across France to the Battle of the Bulge where he was wounded with shrapnel in the face. 6 Months when life was measured in hours!

He saw more dead than we have suffered! He walked over a hill and saw the remains of Cologne! Only the great Cathederal was standing! The stench of death was everywhere.

Don't get uppidity on numbers. I have numbers. What is important is WINNING!
