In a prolonged war, such casualties will take place.

Either one takes it or one quits!

Red signal? That the Taliban takes ten years to kill 1500 soldiers? Take a look at casualty rates of wars, you will see that this is weak.

The U.S. had far more killed (4X) in the battle for Iwo Jima over just a few days, and Iwo Jima was a tiny part of a much larger war. The casualty rates for both Iraq and Afghanistan have been miniscule by comparison to all previous wars with the exception of GW1.

Well the low-tech Taliban don't have any highly-accurate rockets or missiles with which to bombard US bases, so they can't kill much US troops. However, if USA dares to attack Iran, there will be tens of thousands of US military deaths.

The funny thing is that the low-tech Taliban caused USA to lost 100 aircraft (crashed or not). What a super power!

A) you mean NATO, not US
B) This would wipe Bulgaria from the map. US? Drop in the bucket.

The low-tech Taliban are highly skilled warriors and are actually armed with sophisticated weapons as Pakistani military found out when facing them in combat. They are harder to fight then professional armies. You do not judge these affairs on the basis of war in Afghanistan. Afghanistan is called a graveyard of empires for a reason.

US military power is designed to counter other professional armies effectively. And tens of thousands of US military deaths sound like a joke to me.

100 Jets lost in Afghanistan? Where is the source? How many helicopters were among them?

I think he is including accidents and helicopters of all of ISAF, but even then doen't know if figures match ( I'm pretty sure not a single combat jet has been lost to fire)

This is an interesting part. So many wars by U.S. Conquering world?

Jucie, who and why would wipe Bulgaria from the map? And yes, by aircraft I mean both jets and helicopters. 1 jet and 16 helicopters were shot down, while the total number is 123 lost aircraft. Maybe 15 are non-US so 100+ aircraft lost.

I meant the Airforce, not the country...sorry.
