48 US troops killed in Iraq first half of April.
In March, 30 U.S. forces died in Iraq, the fewest in a month since February 2004

They print this shit like they are talking a about items instead of human beings. Are we supposed to take some comfort in the fact the 30 US forces died in Iraq in March because it was the "fewest in a month since February 2004?" Shit, that means that at least 30 US forces are being killed every fucking month in Iraq! When the fuck are people going to take to the streets?

1. My Take
Unlikely the masses will "take to the streets" without a draft

President Cheney knows this, and explains away the deaths as "they volunteered" Let someone who isn't motivated to join the crusade get drafted--- INSTANT DISOBEDIENCE.

10. Hello saigon68
I began posting to this form pretty much exclusively about a year or so ago. I always did like it over here but never really had the time to enjoy this board much before.

Happy to see you here. Take care and talk to you later.

Don

4. That's why they're "troops", not "soldiers" and certainly not "men"...
That's why they're "troops", not "soldiers" and certainly
not "men" and "women" killed.

Just troops. Just anonymous folks in a video-game like
atmosphere, not unlike as in Starship Troopers,
ya' know?
