How Many?

There was an article released on the Huffington Post recently concerning the number of American soldiers lost in Iraq. By lost of course, we mean deceased. What seemed most startling, and disturbing, is that most Americans are not aware of how large the number is any more. I was shocked myself to see how large it had gotten. We seemed to have stopped paying attention, or at least our media did, due to the upcoming election. I think another large portion of it though, is due to the fact that we as a nation are sadly, and frighteningly, apathetic. Just in case everyone was wondering, the number is now at about 4,000.
