    Kind of crazy to lead with this. Talking about the Americans victims (mostly military) and ignoring the local Iraqi victims (mostly civilians).

      You forgot to add that in 20 years time, America will go back to Iraq to make a film about how killing Iraqis made thier soldiers feel sad.

      This is standard US procedure.

        Don't worry they also make films celebrating the passion behind the killings like American Sniper
