Please. Never say 'only'. Each soldier had a life, people who cared for him. Has to be a more delicate way to say it. In January, 1972, Richard Nixon said, "only one soldier died in Vietnam this week". Life Magazine picked it up. The soldiers name was Jerry Duffy, Sp4. Every life is precious. How about we say, 23 US servicemen gave their lives. That is much les.......somethng of that sort. Thanks.
lol By far left you mean socialism and by socialism you mean privatising the profits and socialising the losses right? Indeed maybe the Hitler comparison is wrong and I should have used Mao Zedong.
