A family member of mine lost 4 platoon buds in Iraq evidenced by the helmet/rifle/boots tats on his back, and the same amount back home after. He's not sure which is worse last time I heard him speak of it.

Watching this documentary, this thought crosses my mind. That if we lost 22 per day each and every single day in foreign combat, our leaders would shite a brick. Just from the domestic pressure and outrage that would inevitably happen by the public. You know? But this gets no major air time. Or senate hearings. Or retaliation.
