Innumeracy and cowardice in one post. Nice work.
It's easy to be brave with other peoples lives.
I was always amused hearing people talk about how "cowardly" the enemy was for using IED's. I wonder how many of them would have went up against a 15 deep convoy of uparmored trucks carrying 50 cals, grenade launchers, and other automatic weapons -- armed with nothing but their Soviet era rifles.
No, we were "bravely" patrolling the streets with the comfort of our total air superiority. Our advantage is/was overwhelming in every way, to the point where it's silly to even try to make a comparison. So excuse me when I laugh at people who talk about how brave soldiers are for going to Iraq or Afghanistan, and how cowardly the enemy is. I see things clearly, free from the chains of bull**** propaganda. I have no vested interest either way, I'm not Muslim and I have no kind of ties to anywhere in that region. I'm just not a total brainwashed tool like some of the people who actually believe that they were "fighting for freedom."
