Add in economic casualties - start with your kids
Yes we have lovely automation now. One soldier carries more firepower than was used in the entire civil war (I made that up - might be right - who knows?). So fewer (of our) people die. But we and our kids and most likely their kids will be paying for this mess. The costs are huge - and for what?
Nothing, nada, zip, zero. All we have done is destroy the US's reputation abroad, inflame the ragheaded psychos, bankrupt the treasury, and forfeit the high ground by use of stupid ineffective interrogation techniques.
"Whenever you find you are on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect" --Mark Twain
"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." --Albert Einstein
"This is still a dangerous world. It's a world of madmen and uncertainty and potential mental losses." --George W. Bush
