Body Counts?

During the waning years of the Viet Nam war our military exaggerated the body counts of enemies killed. This time around we have been suppressing them. However, our designated leaders trying to head up governments in both Afghanistan and Iraq are (quite wisely in their own interest) currently distancing themselves from our killings over there which include many of the relatives of these pols, themselves. Watch this outcry increase until we are forced to exit. No one wants to be classified as a Quisling (traitor who collaborated with an occupying army). Occupation is the problem, not the solution.
