2,000
First, I support our troops in all the things that they do to serve and protect the interests of the United States of America.
Today in Iraq, we reached the 2,000 killed in action threshold.
Instantly, those who need to defend that number make comparisons to Vietnam.
211,470 died in Vietnam.
According to the U.S. Center of Military History.
In comparison, 2,000 is a drop in a bucket.
Now...relate it to your life.
My graduating class at Lake Dallas High School was only 85 people. There weren't 2,000 people in LDHS if you counted faculty, students, janitors, and cafeteria workers.
Perspective.
The instant denigration of 2,000 being a small number is a crock and disrespectful to those who make up the number.
