just a mark on the wall

In an e-mail statement to Baghdad-based journalists, command spokesman Lt. Col. Steve Boylan said media attention on the 2,000 figure was misguided and "set by individuals or groups with specific agendas and ulterior motives."

He described the grim statistic as an "artificial mark on the wall" and urged news organizations to focus more on the accomplishments of the U.S. military mission in Iraq.

Well Mr. Boylan they might be an "artificial mark on the wall" to you but not to us. This just shows the uncaring of you whose careers depend on blind loyalty no matter what. No offense Mr. Boylan, you are just echoing how they all really feel. I would hope that any life, including mine, would not be just a mark on the wall.
