I have heard various estimates of Iraqi casualties, ranging from from 50,000 to 400,000 troops dead or wounded. They were people too. Some of these troops were evil, vicious killers; but some were regular folks like you and I but with the misfortune of being born in Iraq and being inducted into the Iraqi army. Do you feel any regret in dedicating your life's work to weapons systems that ended their lives, and widowed and orphaned their families? Jan Gray
