Striker Brigade and the War

The Striker Brigade stationed at Ft Lewis Washington has had   seven soldiers killed in one day and were holding memorial services for  another eight killed a few days ago. It may be great to honor the fallen but if this becomes commonplace how long can the Army keep reminding the soldiers still at Ft. Lewis waiting to go to Afghanistan of the fate that awaits them?  Although the comnparison to WW2 where 275 Americans a day for four years were being killed, still, in the kind of wars the Americans are used to now casualty rates of 7 or 8 a day will get their attention.  So my guess is that these memorial services will be downgraded, especially if the casualties continue on. So expect these memorial services to slow or stop for the morale of both the public and the soldiers still waiting to go to Afghanistan. The war must go on. 

Have a nice day.
