#1 Tragic, but these numbers should go down as the offensive succeeds.

#2 To put the numbers in perspective, the Brits lost over 400 men in aircraft and glider crashes in the opening hours of Operation Market Garden. The US didn't fare any better. Modern warfare and effective training has made fighting far less hazardous than it was during WWII, but the MSM has nothing to compare it against. They totally lack any education in military matters or history.
