...to be "triumphal" about. The last time I looked, which was today, we still have ongoing combat situations in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
Additionally, we still have no idea, other than the "official figures", how many casualties have been sustained in the Middle East to date. We have heard nothing about Afghanistan for quite some time, and the "official figures" include only those casualties that have been returned to the U. S. for burial or treatment for wounds. There are quite a few casualties in U. S. hospitals in Germany that are too severely wounded to travel to the U. S., and of those being returned to the U. S. quite a few are being housed in hotels/motels close to the primary care hospitals. Additional reports discuss 600 sick and wounded soldiers being housed at Ft. Stewart, Georgia...and that's just one base.
