A final de-bunking

This story is written with a bit of an edge to debunk the false image that the Rumsfeld ssuffered a "smackdown". Rumsfeld dealt with that one programmed soldier, but then took related questions from other soldiers and didn't blunt them. And nobody got in trouble for it.

Note also the mention at the end of the article of the lethality of this war (combined with Afghanistan) is unbelievably low. The numbers show that of soldiers who take injuries, there is a 90% survival rate, compared with Vietnam, (which the media would love this to become), at a 24% wounded/death rate.

War isn't great and it isn't perfect, but this is a heck of a lot better than any other war we've been in. Please let the fighting people do their job the right way, and spare us the histrionics from those of you who know zilch about fighting a war.
