1800 on our side, not bad, considering we've killed so many 'over there'

1800 dead american g.i.'s now, (let's not speak of the grievously injured), not too terrible a loss when you think about how many we lost in world war's one and two, a mere handful, nothing to get all stressed about certainly.

a small price to pay for our freedom in the great scheme of things,
and our elected leaders surely know what's best for us, and for our future, and we must gladly give unto them our sons and daughters, in a bitter but justifiable trade off.

it all makes sense if you let it. we were attacked by a bad crazy man with a crazy religion from a cave in afghanistan, and we killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people in iraq, that's easy enough to understand. and that's a fine thing for our sons and daughters to have fought and died for.

and i'm sure the fathers and mothers off the fallen feel it was all worth it too, cause they sure as hell don't want it to be said that their loved ones had died for nothing, or for all the wrong reasons.

1800 ain't so bad people, especially when you consider the vietnam war when we lost 58,000 men before we declared glorious victory.
