To commemorate the occasion, here’s an objective, but only partial, account of the sacrifices and costs of this misbegotten war:
3,218 American soldiers dead
200,000+ American military personnel wounded
60,000+ Iraqi civilians dead
500,000+ Iraqis wounded (and over 2 million displaced)
$500 billion…wasted/misappropriated
With sacrifices and costs mounting at a wholly untenable rate!
Enough said?
