Yah, I agree. Should be mandatory. I saw a stat last night on the show that at a point in 1944, we were losing 12,000 soldiers PER WEEK! And that the bloodiest battles were still to come. To put that into perspective, I think we've lost about 5,000 service members since the post 911 war on terrorism has started. Not to minimize the sacrifices of the soldiers of today, but those numbers are just staggering.
