This is only put forth so college kids will remember it was proposed during GWB's administration.

True. People have short memories.

How many people remember that

30,000 Americans died in Korea in (less than) 3 years (1950-52) of Democrat Truman's presidency? That means more than 10 times as many troops died under Truman as died under Bush in 3 years.
How many people remember MacArthur saying on this date in November of 1950 that the war would be over by that Christmas? The "official" action in Korea went on until 1953.
How many people remember that Truman said he was sending our troops to fight a "police action" against "bandits" who were threatening the Republic of Korea?

May I add, how many American's remember Viet Nam as Nixon's war.

Thanks for the stats! It's really amazing when you take the stats for your city or state. In 2004 (if I remember right) there were 2,000 unclaimed bodies in Los Angeles County, California. I think it was for the county and not the city. And this was for just one year.

One better, is breaking out the number of those killed in Iraq that died in accidents, not hostile fire.
