In my opinion, withdrawing the troops is not a solution. These men and women are there to do a job, and to leave in the middle of it would not help anybody. As for the casualty numbers, I'd agree with Angel of Death - 400 casualties in what is now almost a 10 year war is not that bad. Every loss of life is a sad event, but this is a war and there are casualties in war - all of these men and women signed up knowing what they were getting in to. Compared with the wars of the past, then these numbers are better than we could've hoped for.
I shall be telling this with a sigh, somewhere ages and ages hence. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. - Robert Frost
