I listened to Deans remarks, and unless my ears were playing tricks on me, I heard him say we lost 25,000 in Nam. The reason I bring this up is because I made a mental note, "is this gut stupid or did he just make a mistake?"

I relayed what I had heard to my bro in New Orleans and he responded "What? is Dean saying we lost 25,000 so it looks like we are closer to that number in Iraq?"

Thats far fetched but not unrealistic to assume. Did anyone else actually hear Deans comments?

It's been "explained" to me that he was referring to the lives lost after we "should have" left Vietnam... Tet. His reach is that we have lost too many lives to a war we should leave.

I also heard the 25,000 number.

Couldn't believe how stupid that was.

I heard the 25,000 comment too and couldn't figure out what the hell he was talking about.
