5. How many lives...

I can't help but wonder... how many lives have been forever altered directly because of those casualties? How many wounded soldiers friends and families lives are the same way? Did any of this have to happen?

So many "non-hostile gunshot wounds" ...

The least that Bush and company could fucking do is pretend to have a plan, but I guess that would imply that they cared about lives other than their own, and their donors, in the first place.
