    Like it's a competition or something.
     
  2. I would also be curious about the number of casualties... How does the U.S. casualty rate in Iraq and Afganistan compare to WWII, Korea and Vietnam?
    If it is lower it would support the theory that the nature of warfare has changed and there are fewer close contact battles.

    Afghanistan proved that with the Ruskies. It's a guerrilla warfare of snipers and suicide bombers. It was tested on the biggest military threat on that land mass and defeated, or frustrated into giving up. Now, remains the biggest military threat on the earth. Beat that down, you've won and it becomes en masse, the warfare of choice.
