The war in Iraq and Afghanistan is childs play?

Your absolutely correct. ive been in the marine corps for 3half years now, and my family have fought in every war this countrys seen since the revolution. the last 'great' war i think, was vietnam. no other war like it. all our boys dont understand why were fighting. theres not much reason for it apart from oil, and people today complain about the losses. weve lost about 300 men in 10 years, in the Somme the British lost 25,000 in a day. thats a quarter of their army. dont feel your disrespecting people. your just wiser than most people.
