[edit] Pyrrhic?

I don't think this counts as a "pyrrhic victory", just a victory with relatively heavy casualties. I think the rule of thumb is over 30% casualties and with long-term effects. So, I'll remove the word "pyrrhic" from the article until someone complains. --71.172.37.93 (talk) 05:14, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
