Chris...I didn't interpret that as Mike "sluffing off" the number of deaths. I believe he's made the most important distinction of all: separating the opinions regarding the "politicians" and the "troops." He is correct that given all the possibilities, the figure is low and a testament to the training and skill of the actual troops. We have, in fact, lost far many than 2000 in individual battles, some of which were held in Virginia.

We can't ever make the mistake that was made during Vietnam: blaming the troops for the war. Put the blame for the war where it belongs, but support the people that were sent to fight it.
