I ask my fellow Freepers to read this link: Talks about Iwo Jima.

The scale of our losses there, might bring Iraq into perspective a little.

Many lost perspective. This war has by far the lowest numbers of US casualties compared to any other war with the same duration. People who are angry because this war lasted more than WW II forget always to mention that in WW II we lost over 410,000 soldiers compared to 3,000 in Iraq.
