It's a grim milestone, and one that merits some reflection. On June 1, we reached a total of 5,000 U.S. troops killed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. All this allegedly to avenge the deaths of the 2,974 who died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Doesn't seem like a fair swap to me.
But then there is no such thing as a fair swap when it comes to human-inflicted death of other human beings.
