Today is the Fourth of July 2010.
Since 1775 until the present, American deaths have added up to 1,342,529+/-. [This includes 2976 deaths from the September 11, 2001 attack on the United States.] There are no exact numbers for the dead from all of the wars, insurgencies, conflicts in which America has engaged both internally and externally. And what have we learned along the way? It would appear nothing because we have lost 1,342,529 lives.
Martin Luther King said: "I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of.....war that the bright daybreak of peace.....can never become a reality."
