sounds good to me if you want to get into the real meat of war


1 Coalition Soldier for every 50 scumbag wannabe "freedom fighter"


Sounds to me they wont be lasting too long

No one wants there son to die...but welcome to the world of war

Always makes me think of the deaths of WW2 soldiers and the numbers that were involved..wow..

The USA and its allies have made TRemendous advances in saving lives during war

The Vietnam figures are hardly accurate.  Body counts were consistantly inflated so an accurate comparison simply cant be made, in my estimation.

"The USA and its allies have made TRemendous advances in saving lives during war
"
you got that right. Many of those casualties would be fatalities 20 years ago. It actually is so changed that it impacts tactics and politics. 4000 dead would be alot different issue both from a tactics selection(escalation) stand point and from a political will stand point. But 3000 cripples and 1000 dead is not as big a deal.
Take away the body armour and the increadable medical system and you probably have 10000 coalition deaths.

We lost more soldiers fighting amongst ourselves 1861-1865 in the War of Northern Aggression than any other war we've been involved with.

no im serious.  Anyone have a estimate on how many are willing to help iraq?  because this will be a numerical superiority by terrorist  or us or if terrorist have more numbers than we do then a tactical superority like we have?

Kinda like WW2

Russian's had numerical and germans had tactical.

LOL "War of Northern Aggression."

Johhny Reb is funny.  :D

I was in South Carolina a few years back, made a pit stop and saw a Tshirt in a gift shop that had a picture of a mosquito on it.

The caption?  "The Official Insect of South Carolina: Still out for Yankee Blood!"

You guys know the war is over, right?  :D

At that rate, they will run out of "virgins" long before fighters.
