And I'm sure that US soldiers in Iraq appreciate your amusement.

That attitude is what amuses me the most.

The soldiers *think* we're winning in a cake-walk, compared to Iwo Jima, etc.

You think they'd rather hear that this is a disaster??? Try and put yourself in their shoes. You're in this every day, and I come up to them and say, "Good job, it's a tough fight but we're wining in a cake-walk." Do you think they're insulted?

No way.

Amusing, to say the least.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here because you're probably a pretty decent guy. The problem that people are having with you, is that you have taken all of the pain, loss, fear, chaos, death, noise, smell, loneliness, and any number of other things that occur in combat, and called it a cake walk.

I'm not saying that you don't have some valid points, I'm just saying that it wasn't a cake walk.
