» pink101 - What Some Folk Call Numbers

In response to Would God Bless America? posted by Migisi:
.
Total American soldiers dead since March 03: 3,475
Total self-inflicted deaths (suicides): 111
Total US wounded: 25,242
.
These are what some folk call numbers.

But, whenever I visit a memorial in Saginaw, Michigan, where the names of my friends who were killed in Korea are listed, I think about the fact they never married and never had children. I wonder about those babies that were never born and the living that was never experienced. I look at my children and at theirs and am so thankful that I was not killed in war.

I have personal stories about each one of these friends.
Entire worlds get destroyed before they exist. That is what war is all about.

God Damn War!!
