I simply can't tell you how many times I have seen opponents of the War in Iraq use statements such as the one provided in my topic sentence and I was hoping one of you Far Leftys could educate me as to how this war is such a disastrous and exacting toll on american soldiers.
To my knowledge the death toll for the entire operation is lower than a single days worth of fighting in the Civil War, World War 1, World War 2, Korean War and the Vietnam War. Yet I keep hearing about the 'harsh' death toll rising in Iraq and the extreme misfortune American troops are having over there in that dust bowl. It would seem to me, though, that not being killed is probably the the best thing any soldier at war can hope and in a war with this many men involved it seems that a large percentage of American lives are being spared compared to other wars we have been involved in.
