Not many soldiers at all.

I absolutely agree. As long is it isn't a lot of Americans dead it's ok with me. I can't stand those pussies with all the head injuries either. They should be glad they're not dead. So ungrateful.
Also, Hillary is maintaining her lead.

We don't have many FIGHTING soldiers. FIGHTING soldiers. Many are just there for peacekeeping and patrolling neighborhoods. Iraq is a pretty large country you know.
And its common sense to know that since there aren't anything about massive gunbattles with terrorists, there aren't large death tolls.

Should have sent as many troops as possible to end it within a year or two...We had the same problem with Vientnam...Not enough troops sent in to get the job done

you guys are cruel. Being a soldier is very hard, emotional, and tough. You don't have to be a WWII veteran to have psycological pain from seeing dead bodies or friends killed in battle.
maybe you should be a soldier in iraq and I guarentee you will be scared shitless when your driving through a street in iraq when you never know when theres a car bomb or rpg headed your way. And maybe when you "lose a little blood" you'll be grateful that theres medics and a clean hospital for you to stay until your better. And you'll be thankful when general petreus comes and shakes your hand and tells you that you make a difference here.
at least the US army gives you a purple heart for getting hurt. And when you mean by "losing a little blood" are you telling me about a scratch you got when you tripped on your foot walking on a street in iraq? A little "scratch" can be a leg shot or arm shot and thats what usually is the case for getting a purple heart. Seriously be a little more understanding

no 1 million soldiers cant make a difference. They have the support of the people, the terrorists, and they have a continues supply of young arabs you are brainwashed into thinking americas stupid and join terrorists to fight. They never run out of car bombs and soon america will be too exhausted and annoyed to fight, just like vietnam

You're so sick. You didn't even notice my sarcasm.
Looks like Hillary is going to take it unless Obama gets most of the college voters.

I'm stating the obvious. Its not hard to imagine yourself as a marine. If some kid like you comes up to one of them and tells them that they are baby-killers, how would you feel if you did nothing wrong but try to do what is right?
@nucklear
I just know that if hilary wins NH, your gonna come and say ZOMG HILARY PWNZ0RD YOU ALL!!1!1!11

See me whoring Ron Paul? Yea? I don't care if Hillary wins, I care if Obama loses. I only care because it'll be ironic. All polls had Obama>Hillary and, what seemed like a week, the MSM were just constantly sucking Obama's dick over that and his win in Iowa.
Just Deserts if you will.
Oh, and stop misspelling my username please.

No, just Obama. Also, the early showing was of national polls where most people have heard of Clinton but most likely not Obama. Most of it was just MSM hype per usual.
