I'm going to take the unpopular position of saying that we don't have too many dead, given the type of war we are fighting I am actually a little surprised at how few are dying. On the other hand we definitely have too many physical and emotional cripples coming back, which can actually be seen as worse than the dead.

P.S. Since someone will probably take my post to mean this I just want to make sure you know that I don't mean that we should get rid of the cripples or anything like that. I just mean that the crippled are a much larger burden (and some might say a greater tragedy) than the dead.

P.P.S. That didn't come out right either but whatever.
