Fighting (killing, capturing, whatever) terrorists requires doing certain things. Getting pipeline contracts and other monies assigned to the right people requires doing other things. Before waving the flag, it's a good idea to ask why you're in that country with our flag in the first place. And your commanders aren't going to tell you.
I am not debating anything nor am I going to discuss anything remotely related to this topic here.

My point was, and still is, don't use American KIA's to prove a controversial point in a thread about fuel economy.
