2. As Tony Snow said, the dead are just a number

Now they are less than a number. Just dead. No ceremonies, just dead.

Get a draft instituted where all would go, and it would be a different matter.

9. That's right it would be different. More cannon fodder = more dead.

Endorsing the draft to end war is like having sex to promote virginity. Stop wishing misery on others.

4. It's true

an Idaho soldier assigned to Fort Lewis died today. They will no longer have individual services.

War alacart, W style.

7. Damn.

I cannot believe they do not have enough "troops" to have individual services. Hell, grab a few of the Generals and Colonels sitting around.
