51,983
That's the number of sailors and Marines killed in World War II. Does that number represent what happened in that war? Does simply reporting that number signify anything meaningful?
Or how about approximately 51,000. That's the estimated number of casualties (killed, wounded, or captured) at the Battle of Gettysberg. Does that in any way tell what happened in that crucial week in Pennsylvania?
Just as those numbers fail to describe World War II or the Battle of Gettysberg, your mindless posting of the death total tells nothing of what is happening in Iraq. All it is is political posturing.
