To help put the shooting into perspective.
I saw some statistics on one of the cable channels this AM - either CNN or MSNBC?
But they showed the worst days of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the most casualties on the worst days was 37 killed in Afghanistan and 30 killed in Iraq. Fifty-nine were killed in Vegas.
In the entire Desert Storm mission, there were less than five-hundred casualties. (wounded and killed)
There were more than five-hundred in Vegas.
Think about it.
