"'Assure him that for any parent, it is not a small price for any
community in America that's been attending those funerals, it is not a small
price, and I'd like to see the Republicans show the same kind of outrage that
they seem to reserve for partisan purposes for as outrageous a comment as that,
that suggests dying in Iraq is a small price.' He said."
There are no small prices in war. That being said, if 100 soldiers die, if a thousand die in Iraq today, to prevent an attack on America that could kill thousands, and wound even more, what costs more. The words that he choose were poorly chosen and he should have expressed himself better. The message that he was trying to put out there, is that the soldiers know that their lives are put on the line to save their country. The country that is worth more to them.
