I'll educate them on the ways of Chuck Norris!

The U.S. has now lost 2261 soldiers in Iraq, surpassing the number who died in the War of 1812.

Next up on the horizon is the Spanish American war with 2,446 deaths.  Iraq will certainly surpass this mark.  Here is where Iraq ranks compared to the other U.S. wars:

255 - Afgan War (2001-2006)
382 - Persian Gulf War (1990-1991)
2,260 - War of 1812 (1812-1815)
2,261 - Iraq War (2003-2006)
2,446 - Spanish-American War (1898)
4,435 - Revolutionary War (1775-1783)
13,283 - Mexican War (1846-1848)
36,574 - Korean War (1950-1953)
58,200 - Vietnam War (1964-1975)
116,516 - WWI (1917-1918)
405,399 - WWII (1941-1945)
498,332 - Civil War (1861-1865)

Have a nice day.

At least in the war of 1812 we got some nice land out of it.
What the hell was the Spanish-American war about again? Something to do with trade, and then they sank a civilian ship of ours or something?
I need someone to either tell me what happened, or to make up something plausible, that I will then repeat until a more knowledgable person calls me out and makes me look like a dumbass in front of a large group.

don't have the time to look up everything on it, so here you go.

The kids in my neighborhood would be good prospects.  The schools suck so they have no education.  They're poor and don't have a way out beside dealing drugs or ass.  They speak ghetto language that would never pass in any professional environment.  They can't do math, read or write.  Best they can hope is to get a union job with the MTA or some other similar job.  Armed service probably looks good to them, especially if they believe the lies the recruiters tell them. 

Even so, at this point most people understand that joining up means dying for nothing, and generally being treated like shtein for your service, so they'd rather just have another stoned day on the corner, thanks.

You've said this before, thats why i made the statement, your not getting sensitive are you?

Well, for once in my life and probably the only time ever, i'm going to agree with Dio.  It's been a senseless waste of young American lives...and it may never stop.

Have a nice weekend.

Since last we discussed this subject, 89 U.S. soldiers have been killed in Iraq.

U.S. Troops
2361 killed.
17469 injured.


Iraqi civilians
34,030min/38164max killed. (counting only deaths reported in media)

9/11 Civilians
9/11 killed: 2,986


The war costs 200 million dollars per day.  Everyone should know these figures.  Most don't care, most Americans don't even know how many U.S. soldiers have died.  The most basic shtein, they don't care.

Everything the leaders said would happen has not happened.  Everything they said wouldn't, has.

"Smart bombs."
"Mission Accomplised."
"Greet U.S. troops with open arms."
"WMDs."
"Insurgency in it's last Throes."
"Link between 9/11 and Iraq."
"Homeland Security."

The only thing they've gotten right was "Bring 'em on!"
