DEBBIE ELLIOTT, host: And now your comments.</s>DEBBIE ELLIOTT, host: We got a lot of mail after last weekend's conversation with two military      veterans on the debate over when to withdraw from Iraq.  Several      listeners were astonish to hear one of our guests comment that, quote,      "when we pulled out of Vietnam in '75, a million people were slaughtered,      and that could happen just as easily in Iraq if we don't do the job the      right way." Listener Edward Kranz(ph) writes:  `As far I know, no one      else has made that claim. Whatever difficulties our supporters may have      faced when we left, mass slaughter was not among them.'</s>DEBBIE ELLIOTT, host: For the record, a reference book called Warfare and Armed Conflicts tries      to gives an accurate count of casualties in Vietnam after the US troop      pullout in 1972.  The book acknowledges that numbers provided by both the      North and South Vietnamese are suspect, but the total combat and civilian      deaths do not reach a million.</s>DEBBIE ELLIOTT, host: Listener Charles Miller(ph) was inspired to weigh in after hearing a      photographer on our program glorify the low-tech toy camera.      `Certainly,' Miller writes, `there are those who find beauty in      accidental light leaks, double exposures and temperature-damaged film.  I      suppose some fanciful viewer might find depth and meaning in a completely      exposed, blank roll of film for that matter.  But, to borrow from Freud,      "sometimes a bad photo is simply a bad photo."'</s>DEBBIE ELLIOTT, host: We invite your feedback.  Go to our home page, npr.org, and click on      `Contact us.'
