Numbers vs. Words. We could talk about the numbers but that's when eyes usually start glazing over... Suffice to say that November 2004 has already turned into the second deadliest month for American military forces since the start of the invasion in March 2003. 1,200 plus total dead. Nearly 9,000 total wounded (half injured so severly that they are unable to return to duty). Eyes glazed over yet?
Better Perspective. Go to the following Pentagon link and scroll through the names of the U.S. soldiers who have been killed. It puts the number 1,200 into a whole different perspective... I'm sure if we could see all the names of the estimated 100,000 innocent Iraqis who have been killed since the start of Iraqi Freedom it might just give us pause again. Or maybe not. It's hard to take pause when you're loading up the holiday shopping cart at Walmart....
