No it means that Fabrikant (Benny Patrick or something) is totally
ignorant of American history, including the American Revolution, the
Civil War where the real record was set one day at Antitem Creek
outside Sharpsberg Maryland, the Second World War where the Axis was
playing with others until the Americans entered the war and made an
extremely serious war out of it around the world. We have never been
frivolous about war before the nation building era of Clinton.

Russians have a very high regard for Russian lives, Russian tyrants do
not. Tyrants never have much regard for the lives of those in their
service. This can also often be said for Monarchs, Queen Victoria as
an example.

LBS's body counts were not dreamed up out of concern for American
lives, rather they were a phony political way to claim victory while
holding the armed forces back from what it could have and should have
done.
