Expect to hear the number 4,000 a lot in the next few days.  Liberal groups love to issue press releases whenever the number of American casualties reaches a round number based on the arbitrary base-ten numerical system (as if the 4,000th death is more significant than the 3,983rd).

To the 4,000 and their families: Thank you.

To the liberal groups using this milestone for personal political gain, a little history lesson to give you some perspective:

U.S. AIRBORNE 2,499 KIA
U.S. / UTAH 197 KIA
U.S. / OMAHA 2,000  KIA
U.S. TOTAL 4,696 KIA

Total Number of American Casualties in a single day (D-Day) of World War II: 4,696.

Total Number of Code Pink, MoveOn liberal hippies issuing press releases and/or kicking Marines out of their cities: 0.

Maybe that’s why they were the Greatest Generation.
