3. magic number
is there a magic number out there that once reached, will spark the MSM to lift their ban and actually start truly reporting the deaths of our military personal? somthing other than the 15 second comments that seem like a after thought on the nightly news?

Joe Public, doesn't have a clue as to what 1707 deaths means, cause afterall, Michael was aquitted of all charges and there is that missing teen in Aruba now that is much more important.

4. Randomly pick a town
with approximately the same population. Imagine every single person in that town gone. Wouldn't someone notice? Even if it wasn't all at once - say 2 one day, 3 the next, 1 the day after. Sooner or later, someone has to say 'what the hell is going on here? We can't continue to let this happen'.

I don't know what that magic number is, or will be. As far as I'm concerned, it was too many when the number was 1.
