If you want to reduce everything to grammar and semantics, I'm ready for you. If that's all you've got, then you can be fought with a style manual rather than anything with more substance. If that's the playing field you want, be my guest.

This is the second time you have used my profession in an attempt to "put me in my place". I wouldn't do that if I were you.

If you want to get into who killed the people in the armed services over in Iraq, do you want it broken down by friendly fire vs. hostiles, and how do you count suicides and bar fights? Would you also like to factor in traffic and air accidents, unlikely explosions and other industrial accidents? Do people who die of those causes count, since after all they were not killed by anyone?

And if you don't want a reply, don't post.
