I had some EuroTrash punks whining about how unfair it all was that the U.S. lost hardly no troops in Desert Storm. I thought that I argued persuasively about the purpose of war, i.e., to kill the enemy and break his stuff, and the goal of not getting your own troops killed in the process when possible, but they were adamant about their disgust with American kill ratios.

Europe is a lost cause.

This isn't a distinctly British viewpoint. This idea is held by everyone who wants the US defeated and is jealous that we have better technology (force multipliers) than our 11th century opponents. Too bad for them, eh?
