There was a training mission conducted by the US and UK during WWII that went wrong and over 1,200 American soliders were killed in a few hours.
I am glad you guys were not around then, or else we would all be speaking German.
Every one off those 1,000 men are heros, they should be honored, their families taken care of.
But lets be real, 1,000 deaths in statisticly nothing with such major combat going on.
No other Nation could take over 2 seperate countries on the other side of the world so quickly, with so few casualties.
How many Russians died in Afganistan? What about in Chechnia?

I agree with you statiscally, but I do disagree with Iraq. If Bush had acted intelligently there would have been zero American deaths because we would not have invaded. 1000 dead, 6000 seriously wounded and $200 billion we have nothing to show for our sacrifice.
