Next time I'm down in Virginia visiting old friends, I'll ask them what they think. It's a matter of perspective.
Ask them, compared to Verdun in WWI, is this a cake walk?
We've lost such perspective, I'm so amused.

I guess perspective is relative at Arlington.

Ask them, compared to Verdun in WWI, is this a cake walk? . . . I'm so amused. And I'm sure that US soldiers in Iraq appreciate your amusement.
I don't know where this moronic argument got started, but "not as many dead as [fill-in-the-blank]" reeks of typical talk-radio juvenilality, so I suspect that's its source.
