Don't mean to be crass, but this is after all a war. During Vietman, Korea, WW2 and WW1, casualties occurred by the tens to hundreds each day. Something is wrong in our thinkinig if we regard a single death in a war as huge news.

This war's odds are massively in our favor: what, 3,000, 4,000 of them and two of our guys? I doubt history has ever seen a conflict in which one side lost so few.

I think you are wrong!.. we just finally got it right!!

We honor every single life..and we will never let another Vietnam happen, or a Korean War,.. or WWI, and WWII. Or a Pentagon Attack, or WTC's. If there was a mistake our Country made in the past.. it was in devaluating life the way we did! The way some on this thread seem to be doing. It does NOT make us weak to mourn the "Ulitmate Sacrifice" that a CIA agent or Military or anyone aiding our Country gives, when they give up their life for us. What have YOU given up?

Because we DO value EVERY SINGLE/ONE Life.. is why will will always win against terrorism, and evil. I'm thankful our Nation FINALLY gets it!! WE ARE STRONGER THAN WE HAVE EVER BEEN! EVER!!
