Yeah that's fairly obvious....your point

I mean at least losing 2,000+ SOLDIERS is better than losing more and more CIVILIANS....yeah we kill their civilians but at least I am not in danger...my family isn't in danger, my friends aren't in danger UNLESS they VOLUNTEER for it.

In WWII 2,000 soldiers wasn't bad to lose in YEARS it was a reality that they were losing thousands A MONTH, A DAY, or A BATTLE...look at D-Day, Battle of the Bulge, and so on...War ain't for the feint of heart...we need MORE soldiers there if any progress is going to be made. War isn't something you do half assed RUMSFELD!!!
