Lash,
Those 4,000 and about 500,000 of their compatriots have killed about 23,000 of the insurgents friends and cohorts. In the meantime the attacks on other US interests = 0. This is what the troops signed up for and what they get paid for. They knew what they signed up for and don’t need people like you to take up for them. They understand that folks of your ilk use them as a cudgel to beat their opponents over the head. I’m sure you would have wailed about the Normandy invasion and the number of US dead their as well.
Anna,
I understand that most of those dead, brought back to life, are lining up to register to vote in Chicago.
