Re: The Left and Stopped Clocks
Lazy, I guess.
2,000,000 US Soldiers fought in WWI
113,000 US soldiers died in WWI
versus
150,000 US soldiers in Iraq
2,000 US soldier deaths
Since 2,000,000 is bigger than 150,000 I thought the original assertion was silly. I shot from the hip without bothering to read the article. I suppose the high tech nature of modern war makes it much more expensive. The kook left likes to cherry pick numbers which supports their anti-war arguments. The could not choose the 2,000,000 vs 150,000 numbers or 113,000 versus 2,000 numbers because that undermines their cause. So they choose money. My instincts were still right. They were being sneaky in making their arguments.
