You are forgetting about the 4,221 in Iraq and 850 in Afghanistan soldiers who died in action since 03.. Plus many soldiers from other countries!!
I feel for their families...
Those people didn't just go for the will of Bush. They went to defend their country against all threats, foreign and domestic. They went to establish the first true democracy in the region and take a dictator out of power. Keep in mind that many men and women enlisted AFTER the conflict was declared, even some of my friends just out of high school this past year. Our armed forces are purely volunteer. You don't sign up to defend a country without knowing the risks... It isn't all about the statistics you hear on CNN.
