Is it worth 50 soldiers a month so we can claim we haven't lost yet?
The only way I see to get victory out of this war is to triple the number of troops. We should have done that in the first place.

#1 A fickle populous is why we have elected leaders. To decide upon, direct, and maintain a course of action.
#2 50,000 people die each year from traffic accidents alone. 50 a month is not very many (Although I think the actual number is more like 75 anyway)
#3 I couldn't possibly agree with you more.
