I don't think any combat battalion in OIF or OEF has come close to sustaining the casualties that an average combat battalion did in Vietnam. The worst casualties for a company were 16 KIA in OIF/OEF/OND. An infantry company would have a single firefight in Vietnam about every 3-4 months that would incur that many KIA.
What I meant by the statement was, beds, burger king, TV, internet, showers, toilets, etc. I would venture to say that you have never gone months without a shower, spent weeks living out of your vehicle or sleeping in bombed out buildings. There are a lot more things than combat that can make your life miserable down range. You see, you have the benefit of coming to these areas after we have been here for years. So you take all this stuff for granted. So while all this stuff was getting set up, what do you think the guys on the ground were doing. Your arrogance reeks of inexperience. I'm even starting to wonder if your credentials you claim are legitimate. Surely a guy on the ground with as much "knowledge" as you claim, could not be this obtuse and ignorant.
