Every civilian's death diminishes us, collectively.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Unfortunately, in war, there are casualties, including among the civilian population.
When it comes to civilian deaths, violent hostilities play no favorites.
At least 23,000 civilians have also died in the Iraqi killing field and the U.S. is stuck in a quagmire.
To hear of a thousand deaths in war is terrible, and we 'know' that it is. But as it registers on our hearts, it is not more terrible than one death fully imagined.
One thing we cannot put a number on is the number of casualties because people were never connected to their purpose in life.
I think that some of our soldiers die in the battlefield and some come home to bad health and die prematurely, just by the nature of the kind of business they're in.
From the depths of the Pacific to the deserts of Iraq, more than a million American soldiers, Airmen, midshipmen, and Marines have laid down their lives for their friends, their families and our nation.
If civilians are going to be killed, I would rather have them be their civilians than our civilians.
Statistics have shown that mortality increases perceptibly in the military during wartime.
Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
