perspective is an interesting word...
the US lost a total of 295,000 souls in world war II, defeating all the axis powers. you claim the occupation took a total of 10,000 lives after the war was over. So we lost 3.39% of the total of what was lost during the war (10000/295000 * 100) in world war 2.
(by the way, russia lost 13,500,000 during WWII, and 7-1/2 million civilians, germany 3,250,000, great britian [font "Arial"]452,000, china 3,500,000 wow!, who can name a major chinese battle in ww2 ?, italy 330,000, thats right italy lost more men than the us, and tons of civilian dead [url "http://www.valourandhorror.com/DB/BACK/Casualties.htm"]http://www.valourandhorror.com/DB/BACK/Casualties.htm[/url]) [/font]
In iraq 2, we lost 100 during the war, and we now stand at 1000 after the war (and it wasnt a war, it was a foreign coup), so the occupation of this crummy f$%^ing deal has cost us 1000% more than the conflict.
theres just no comparison to world war 2 and korea to present day anyways... apples and oranges
