1,878 American soldiers have been killed in Afganistan . Give them a ‘’little respect’’.

I'm afraid I don't understand your comment. My respect for our troops is not lessened by acknowledging the soldiers of other countries who have died fighting along side them.

My late grandfather fought in 1918 to give the French their freedom back. An uncle of mine had to do it 20 years later in 1944. 78 dead still leaves the French 1,800 short of what our country has given. Sorry, but given France’s over-all conduct in military matters this colors my view of them. But at least there are 78 Frenchmen with honor.
