I can't find this in any newspaper or on any TV or Radio Station.
Today, just today, we'll spend $450,000,000 on the two wars. Just today.

To date, more that 100,000 US service men and women have been killed in the wars.



(Anyone know of a source for updated figures on deaths???)

7. I think it's about 100k "casualties", not "fatalities"
There's a difference.
