Excuse me?
The US has been fighting the War on Terror for over 5 years and has lost
just over half the soldiers in battle as the Clinton Administration was
losing during peacetime in 8 years.
In five years of the WOT, the US has lost about 3800 soldiers, from all
causes (hostile action, training, accidents, homicide, disease, suicide,
etc.), during wartime. In 8 years of the previous administration, the US
lost 7,500 active duty military personell.
