2000 in 11 years? That's not

2000 in 11 years? That's not bad really. In fact, that's really incredible. Why would they pull out of any place with those kinds of numbers? As far as war goes, that might be some kind of record. Hell, that's less that gun violence in the US, or traffic deaths, or deaths associated with bread.

The point is, there are legitimate reasons for not being in a war, but the incredibly low number of deaths in this conflict (on our side) is not one of them.
