By my count, that is a loss of 1800 humvees from the US inventory and
1600 trucks. 540 M-1 tanks is a significant fraction also. You also
have to consider the deployable force remaining. It looks like most
of the deployable equipment is already in theater.

I believe you're right, that we're walking upon as thin of theater ice
as such perpetrated wars tend to get. I'm not sure we can even get out
safely without falling through our own artificially made thin ice. I
also believe the books are at best seriously cooked in order to minimize
and/or divert the true cost of 911 and the ongoing war(s).

We have our nuclear and chemical weapons (1000 fold worse off than
anything we'd lied about Iraq having), and as long as our warm and fuzzy
GW Bush is in charge, if push comes down to shove is where I do believe
that we do intend to utilize them.
