People here think we're still fighting WWII.
There have been 4,486 Americans killed in Iraq and 2,345 Americans soldiers killed in Afghanistan ... plus 1 million American soldiers wounded in both wars.
While the numbers may not compare to WWII, those who died in the ME are just as dead as those who died in WWII.
