mr. president, this morning i read a little piece in the newspaper that a man named jacob carroll died in afganistan, a u.s. soldier. he died in afganistan on the battlefield. i don't know jacob carroll, but he's one of 438 soldiers who died in afganistan. over 4,400 who have died fighting in iraq. and i think most americans perhaps hear the news, see the news and move on to what else is covered that day in the newspaper. and i was thinking about that when i read something that franklin delano roosevelt had said about the shared sacrifice and shared responsibilities of our country. we've been at war nine years in the middle east, iraq and afganistan. and if you look around our country, and especially look around this chamber and evaluate what we have done and what we are preoccupied with, it is very hard to see that our country is at war. oh, there are some young men and women who are sent halfway around the world to strap on ceramic body armor in the morning, get shot at in the afternoon, perhaps get killed. they're at war. they understand sacrifice. but i wonder if it's not too much bus
