1200 marker passes quietly, draft in the crosshairs

It's official. 1200 dead American soldiers.

Apparently there has been a mission change. Moral clarity now dictates that it must be Operation Eternal Liberation. Take no prisoners! except the fungibles who are increasingly unwilling to go.

Where will we ever get a new crop of cold blooded killers? There is an eighteen year old man in Evergreen who has been feeding live kittens to his dogs, he should be in Iraq without body armor.

More likely we will just have to spin the wheel and hope that we don't get too many with a conscience.
