i think he is probably stating a fact, that the US, when it has DECIDED to accomplish something, has accepted casualties approaching 100x our current rate, if not much more. any observer would agree that to occupy a generally unfriendly country with so few casualties is quite unusual.
I think you are misunderstanding the post. are YOU trivializing the casualties we took in WWII, somehow saying 100 men then is worth 1 man now? If not, you might consider clarifying your position on this.
If anything, the fact we have nominally occupied a generally hostile country for over 3 years at this casualty level is quite amazing (to those who have survived).
Way off target. Please see post 55.
According to some military experts outside Pentagon, this is the MOST successful war that the U.S. has ever won!!!
