In Response To: An Interesting Perspective ()

Hi Carolyne,

Interesting comparison and I did get a chuckle at your conclusion.

I gave a short talk at our High School for Vets. Day and one of the other speakers compared our Iraq KIA count to Highway deaths. This angered me as I felt he was trivializing our "Heros" ultimate sacrifice. I "bit my tunge" in public , but I did have a chat with him afterwords.

I know it was not your intent to do that, but I think that any comparison to murders, accidents, skydiving, drownings, or the flu does trivialize combat deaths. Each and every KIA report reminds me of my own personel losses, friends and strangers alike.

Sorry for the "Soap Box", again I did find your conclusion humorous, but did want to point this out.

Cheers,,,,,,,,,, Lynn
