10. It's funny how the US touts bodycounts as a measure of success now

Edited on Thu Nov-16-06 01:18 AM by Selatius

It was used as a measure of progress in Viêtnam, but it meant nothing constructive in the end. Ho Chi Minh was rumored to have said that you could kill ten of his for every one of ours he killed, but in the end, he'd still win. He and millions had the willpower to outlast the US. Afterall, it was their land.
