On A Pale Horse

This is a day late but the sentiment is still there...

Revolutionary War - 4,435
War of 1812 - 2,260
World War I - 116,516
World War II - 405,399
Koren War - 36,516
Vietnam - 58,512
Operation Desert Storm/Shield/ Gulf War - 293
Iraqi Conflict - 2,811 (as of 10/28/06)

These are the causalities of war. I hope you remembered that these men & women died fighting for the American way of life (whether or not you agree the war was just...they are still Americans) when you were doing that scan tron voting ballot yesterday.
