Y2K (Why 2,000 Americans Deserves An Indictment)
"The numbers are staggering. More American soldiers have been KIA in the first 32 months of Iraq so far then in the first 4 years of Vietnam. This isn't another Vietnam people, this is worse."

I'm certain that you've all noticed that the dreaded 2K mark for dead American soldiers has been reached.

While I was hesitant to post it, many of the detractors of the pacifist movement have attempted to use the discussion of casualties as an excuse to hammer us on the head, saying that the mere discussion of so many dead dishonors the dead.

To which I reply: what a disheartening thing, to hear citizens of the same world use such irrational justifications to go to war, and then to further poision the well by turning the argument against those who are pointing out the lunacy of a policy based on lies and disinformation.

1. Don't forgetg the stats for Gulf War 1 - 11,000 dead, 1/2 on disability
and 50,000 requesting disability. This is the start of massive death and destruction of our troops because our great leader went to war not caring about what caused the problems with the GW1 that lasted 6 weeks. Our army is dead. They are the Dead Walking and the people that sent them on this folly should be tried for treason.
