You know, I bet a lot of guys got killed by their inability to fly, as well.
Some people just need to STFU. This has become a nation of spineless pussies. Oh noes! It's a bloodbath! Somebody forgot to issue superman suits!!1!11
ETA: I'm all for body armor and all that, but it doesn't matter. You could ship people off in armor that stopped everything short of an RPG head to toe, and you'd read reports about how our new Heavy Armored Infantry Starcraft Space Marines are insufficiently protected against direct hits from RPGs, a common weapon used by the enemy.
You could have an a Humvee run over a small tactical nuke, and Wolf Blitzer would have been complaining about the lack of armor on the vehicle, when that was the bitch. Fortunately, that bullshit is passe, now.
