2. another day, more dead

but what can you expect when we are being so successful?

3. Why can't they identify the service!?

I hate when they say "soldiers." That could mean either Army soldiers or Marine soldiers. Or for that matter, it could mean Airmen, Sailors, etc. (And yes, they too have died albeit in smaller numbers.) Anyway, I just wish they would distinguish between Marines and Army people.
