American War Deaths Throughout History
No good came of any of that...Just us sitting here chatting away on the internet about how bad life is. |
Yeah, the occupation of Iraq is very similar to the Civil War. |

Since your spouting off your opinion....then all those deaths could have been considered "sent to their deaths"
Did you have a point? |

Yes, they were still sent. I know for example in the Revolutionary War some men literally walked into the retreat on it's way to York, PA but otherwise they were all sent. It's funny how angry the right gets about just seeing these pics yet we don't even COUNT the numbers of Iraqis who have been killed, how disrespectful is that? |

Well its commonly known that 1 Iraqi death is not exactly equal to 1 American death. I think the ratio is 50:1 or something like that.

Many of those wars you cite weren't launched to secure any kind of "freedom" for Americans. Do you think the Mexican-American War was fought to protect America's freedom? The Spanish-American War? Seminole Wars? Vietnam War?
Didn't think so. |
