What does the number 4409 mean to you?

Another coalition death in Afghanistan bringing the total coalition casualties up to 1947

The U.S. has had 1191 killed in Afghanistan since the war began, 244 in 2010 alone.

5 more coalition deaths in Afghanistan bringing the total killed up to 1952, 384 this year.

Before I start, I have earned the right to say what I am about to say. Voluntary US Army Vietnam Combat Era Vet. Honorably Dicharged.

I was once a confused young man thinking I was serving my country, Defending freedom for the good ole red white and blue. So, I really can understand how these young men are manipulated in volunteering, because I have worn those shoes myself.

What each of us must teach our children is that our Government could not care in the slightness about your sacrifice. In 2004 mothers around this country privately raised funds so our troops could harden Hummers, Bush and Friends embrassed on TV finally started doing it with DOD dollars. VA hospitals have they funding cut, that is what our government thinks about your sons and daughters.
The lies Bush and Friends and now Obama tell to keep the WAR MACHINE going lubicated with blood is treasonous. W M D's, Binladen, terrorist. It is about OIL and DRUGS our government wants to control both for profit.

So teach your Children well.

At this point I really wish I hadn't started this thread. As much as I told myself I was aware of the casualties from the war on terror, I wasn't. I am becoming more and more upset every time I update this thread. I hope this eventually makes more people aware of what is going on overseas.

.....and all for a lie.

My country, Canada, has had 151 deaths in Afghanistan since 2002, and all the public can do is bitch about it. The first four of those deaths were friendly fire from a US Jet but that's beside the point . Since 2002, a year before the Iraq war, there has been a fifth of the Americans who were killed in 2003 alone and it makes me sick how we can sob and complain for that fractional number.
