Honestly, 3,000 troops isn't much compared to previous death tolls, but then again, we have a MUCH smaller military now compared to then.Not unless it was your son, brother, daughter, mother, father, cousin, uncle, friend, or some other acquaintance, then it would be one too many. People that talk like it's only 3,000 deaths are talking out their asses, let one of them be someone they love and watch the turn-around
