1000th

not really a milestone that we wanted to reach, but here we are anyway. The 1000th use military member to die in Iraq. Well over 6000 wounded. It's a terrbile number in and of itself, but it leaves me wondering. How many Iraqi soldiers have died? How many citizens? not to lessen the loss of our troops in any way, I wouldn't do that. But to realize that the cost of war isn't just measured in the deaths of one side. That's why civil wars are so terrible, we have to count the losses on both sides.
