Perspective

RedState has an excellent post comparing the number of military dead during the first term of the last four administrations:

George W. Bush . . . . . 5187 (2001-2004)
Bill Clinton . . . . . . . . . 4302 (1993-1996)
George H.W. Bush . . . . 6223 (1989-1992)
Ronald Reagan . . . . . . 9163 (1981-1984)

Given US involvement in Afghanistan AND Iraq, the comparison to previous administrations is really impressive (via Instapundit).
