Funny... I've never found people shooting at me to be a cake walk. Next time I'm down in Virginia visiting old friends, I'll ask them what they think.

Next time I'm down in Virginia visiting old friends, I'll ask them what they think. It's a matter of perspective.
Ask them, compared to Verdun in WWI, is this a cake walk?
We've lost such perspective, I'm so amused.

I don't think the comment was intended to be "on an individual basis." It was a serious look at the numbers and the American publics understanding of "national" struggle and sacrifice.
It isn't a cakewalk for our hard-working, heroic military...but it has been a cakewalk for the whiny, short attention-spanned American public.
