A commander responsible organizing and planning the deaths of how many hundreds or more? Causing fear and suffering throughout the region.
I'm not minimizing our casualties. I live near an army base that's home to a lot of special operations people. My first thought was a worry for a friend. Or his friends. I've seen what TBI's can do people walking around on an artificial leg when I just go to get groceries.
I don't appreciate you that last line of yours though. it sounds flippant and disrespectful. And as I've pointed out ignores how much death and maiming he was responsible for.

Just wanted to throw in that "the butchers bill" is an old naval term, and its use wouldn't normally be seen as derogatory. It's the same as saying there was a high death toll(or higher than expected) and is used that way in news and media.
