i guess a demotion seems fair because you shouldnt be seen so high if you do things wrong

Do I think the pilots deserve to be punished? Yes, I do.
Do they deserve crap from the media and public for trying to do their jobs, jobs that others don't understand? No fcuking way.

The Gulf War didn't go on for four years, thank god, so speculations are impossible, to calculate, as to the war in Iraq, you are about right about the military killed, but when you add the wounded, 32,000 plus, & some who died later, then there's the Iraqi security forces deaths, it's a very different picture, look here, you'll be surprised, I know I was, six pages, read it all, I expect other members will, if the link fails I've printed off about half, so I can quote from it, or go to google & put "military deaths in Iraq" as I didrudster816 said:i dont know why ANYONE is complaining really deaths on both sides UK and USA are EXREMELY light compared to the time we have been there. were aproaching 4 years and theres no more than 4000 on both sides thats only 1000 a year. if you think thats a lot for a war then your wrong. in desert storm only about 256 ground troops died in 3 days of fighting(only the ground war). even the press agreed the losses were low. if the war had gone on for 4 years like the current one then
256\3= 88 per day
88*365= 32120 per year
32150*4= 128480 total
thats proof that currently the price of war is at an all time low. we should be grateful that it is not moaning that there IS some. ya if we WERNT at war there would be none but we ARE at war.

obviously theres 10's of thousands of wounded. but at least half are more small flesh wounds. a causality is someone is simply removed from the battlefield, even the smallest of wounds can be listed as a causality thats where a vast majority come from. and always remember you can lick a wound or two.Brookfield said:The Gulf War didn't go on for four years, thank god, so speculations are impossible, to calculate, as to the war in Iraq, you are about right about the military killed, but when you add the wounded, 32,000 plus, & some who died later, then there's the Iraqi security forces deaths, it's a very different picture, look here, you'll be surprised, I know I was, six pages, read it all, I expect other members will, if the link fails I've printed off about half, so I can quote from it, or go to google & put "military deaths in Iraq" as I did

That site I went to had these US statistics for those wounded in the Iraq war, including non-hostile, & medical evacuations;rudster816 said:obviously theres 10's of thousands of wounded. but at least half are more small flesh wounds. a causality is someone is simply removed from the battlefield, even the smallest of wounds can be listed as a causality thats where a vast majority come from. and always remember you can lick a wound or two.

[2] You seem to have two views on things, you say something sensible & very helpful, & I reply to you saying that's good or whatever, then you spoil it by saying this, I guess it's about UK, if it is, & about his demotion, he deserved it, he got very personal & very nasty, & that's going too far in my book!
