1. Yes

They're still dying over there. Not the media darling at this point, not dramatic enough numbers evidently. Three more families in agony.

things are flaring up again in the now "forgotten war"... hope your son stays safe!

5. it`s not the forgotten war to those like you who worry for their loved ones

we should leave iraq as soon as humanly possible.
