So I gather, but that amazes me.
"Ma'am, your son died fighting the enemy. But we defeated the enemy in a cake-walk."
How, in God's name, is that in any way an insult???
Because, a Cake Walk is Admiral Dewey in the Spanish-American War where there was only one death in the battle.
Granted, we will win, and with minimal losses, but cake walk isn't the best description...
