dont forget we marched through the entire European Continent in the same time we are futzing in Iraq.
we marched through iraq in the same time that it took our WWII boys to deploy and ready themselves for d-day............and about as many WWII boys were killed after we declared victory in '45, as have been killed in the entire "iraqi freedom" mission.........i reckon it's just too damn convenient not to remember how long we were in germany and japan after WWII ended........gee, we're still in germany!
