Why doesn't someone point out that in WWII, when we invaded Iwo Jima and Okinawa, our casualties rose sharplyYou are right.
When the American forces attacked Okinawa , April 1, 1945 – June 21, 1945, we suffered 12,500 KIA or missing in action and 38,000 combat wounded and 33,000 non combat wounded. We lost 33 ships, and 763 aircraft.
We killed 110,000 of the enemy. We sank 16 of his ships and destroyed 7,800 of his aircraft. Less than 2 months later, on August 15th 1945, the war ended with a bang in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
It is darkest before the dawn.

No one said anything then because we won those battles, we took the territory, we showed no mercy. Today we handcuff our troops with KGC war-fighting rules, and instead of fighting for Real Freedom we are supporting a constitution that states that - No law shall contradict islam.
Those hundreds of wounded did not have to be. We should be leveling these places from the air and not losing one single man doing it. But instead President Bush has allowed our troops to become Iraq's police force.
No more blood for islam. They need to do Freedom our way or not expect us to pay WITH OUR billions and OUR BLOOD.
