4. No, they did mention several of them, stats on how many were only 18
not old enough to buy beer, and how many were older than 50, and the pain that do not subside even after a year. Revisited a family, a boy whose image was captured as he received the flag that covered his dad's coffin.

5. Well, I guess it is a milestone moment...
There'll be plenty of time for more nonsense while we're working our way from 4000 to 5000

2. Dr Kissinger has this to say about military men....ABC listens closely...
""Military men are just dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.<47>""

#47 ^ Woodward and Bernstein, The Final Days, chapter 14

Consider the media and their views of Dr Strangelove and you can see why they act as they do.

6. Yeah but as Darth Cheney said, the bigest burden is on the President
and these people volunteered to be killed in Iraq anyway.
