4000
March 24th, 2008
The talking heads on the air waves are agonizing over whether we should make a big deal over the 4000th US soldier dead in Iraq.
My opinion: we should be agonizing over every single soldier who dies in Iraq, and for that matter, every Iraqi civilian who dies as well.
But if we can only get media attention, as compromising as it is, when the US death toll hits yet another thousand mark, then so be it.
Not to mention those that have been maimed or wounded, many of which whose lives will never be the same.
