vincere Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Alas your impression is, regretaby, false. The 299th fatality was in the newspapers this morning. I think that is the fourth or fifth this week and the 300 mark will probably be crossed in the next few days (WIAs don't make the news but there have been more than 1,200 since 2006). Erwin is wrong if he thinks the current casualty levels are more than the UK can take. The reporting of casualties has now become so common that it reached the point where it has little impact on Joe Public. That said there never has been any great enthusiasm for the war, and the reporting of it in the UK media has been woeful (not least because of MoD restrictions). However, to take the discussion further would violate the no politics rule and, anyway would have no bearing on the game. Thank Jonny, Ithought so. There's a bigger story in the WIAs that is not being covered. And rightly or wrongly the KIAs just gat a quick mention in the news and don't seem to hit Jo Public because their lives are largely unaffected. Probably take a mini disaster to spark opinion again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
