So you see that because of the way we perceive quantities, as the war drags on, the number of soldiers committed to it and the casualties will increase not linearly -- like 10,000, 11,000, 12,000 -- but exponentially -- 10,000, later 20,000, later 40,000.
Jadi karena cara kita mengartikan ukuran inilah, saat perang menjadi berlarut-larut, jumlah tentara yang dikirimkan dan korban jiwanya tidak akan meningkat secara linier -- seperti 10.000, 11.000, 12.000 -- namun secara eksponensial -- 10.000, 20.000, lalu 40.000.
